Drive for Miles® – Charity car rallies

Why Cancer Kids?

The decision to focus on cancer-stricken children stems from a simple belief: every child deserves to experience moments of pure joy, regardless of their circumstances. A child fighting cancer is no different from any other child, except for the confines of a hospital room. By providing some of them who love to ride above anything else, with the thrill of a good ride, we aim to uplift their spirits and create healing memories. That is where and when our passion meets purpose, this is the difference we can make.

Our Long-Term Objective

Looking ahead, we aim to to establish an annual "Good Ride » Day internationally - one and the same date in every city with a children's hospital . To achieve this goal, we rely on the dedication of our local scouts—ambassadors who champion our cause and identify opportunities within their city and riding communities.

Supporting Our Cause

Funding our rides is a collective effort. Participants contribute through registration fees, while donations from private individuals and corporate sponsors cover additional expenses. We also offer membership options for those who wish to play a more active role in supporting our cause.

Our Events

Drive for Miles® offer two distinct types of rallies:

The Good Ride©:

This heartwarming event is the highlight of our calendar. Held in various European cities, including Brussels, Paris, Bonn and Baden-Baden, Milan and Athens, Vienna, Liechtenstein and Berlin a.o. "The Good Ride©" brings together drivers & their best car or bike, cancer-stricken children and their siblings in the drive of their choice for a day of unforgettable adventures. From the roar of engines to the wind in their hair, every moment is filled with joy and laughter.

More Rallies:

In addition to The Good Ride©, we organize exclusive rallies tailored for drivers and their partners. These rallies, such as "Hallelujah, driving again" (April 1 first spring outing), the long-distance Convoy2East, the Mont Blanc Rallye a.o. offer unique opportunities to explore scenic routes and forge lifelong friendships.

Choosing Your Ride

Whether you're behind the wheel of a sleek sports car or cruising on a powerful motorcycle, your vehicle of choice can make a world of difference to a child in healing. At Drive for Miles®, we believe in the transformative power of a good ride—and invite you to be a part of it.

Worst-case scenario

What can happen when taking a cancer kid aboard. Good question! Answer: nothing of what you feared, and so much more than you expected, because the kids we drive, chose to ride and they love it!

Membership Options

From passive supporters to active volunteers, there's a role for everyone at Drive for Miles®. Whether you're interested in joining our rides, becoming a scout, or simply making a difference, we welcome you with open arms.

Picture the exhilaration of waking up your ride after a long hibernation—inserting the ignition key, feeling the engine rumble to life. That sensation of pure joy is what fuels our passion at Drive for Miles®. Since our inception in 1997, we’ve been dedicated to sharing that passion with fellow enthusiasts, forging lasting connections, and, most importantly, making a difference.

Our journey began with a shared love for driving—endless miles of open road, exhilarating twists and turns, and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. But it was a chance encounter with a remarkable young boy that truly inspired us to drive with purpose.

This young boy, with a fervent passion for cars despite his battles with cancer, became the catalyst for our mission. Through his unwavering spirit and infectious enthusiasm, he showed us the transformative power of a good ride. In that moment, we knew that driving wasn’t just a hobby—it was a source of joy and healing.

Driven by this revelation, we embarked on a mission to drive miles and drive with purpose. Whether it’s a day trip or a ten-day journey, every mile we travel is an opportunity to spread optimism and make a difference.

For me, Drive for Miles® is more than just a passion—it’s a family. As a long-standing member of the Porsche community and owner of rides from 1986-2024, I’ve always cherished the bonds forged on the open road. Through Drive for Miles®, I’ve had the privilege of expanding that family, welcoming enthusiasts from all walks of life into the fold.

From spirited discussions about dream cars to unforgettable road trips across Europe, every moment with Drive for Miles® is a testament to the power of friendship and shared passion. And as our community continues to grow, so too does my sense of wonder and excitement of what is new around the next curve.
