Nicholas 'Nico' Martin, with the support of MINI UK, has wrapped a Festive MINI in 3,000 smart LED lights to raise money for MS Trust and Duchenne UK this year.The app-controlled twinkly lights can generate customisable animations, including light patterns and messages. The lights are also capable of syncing to your favourite song.
This year each individual light is available to sponsor for £2 (around $2.5 or 2.32 euro), and to spread festive cheer and big love even further, Nico will be visiting as many streets as possible in his hometown throughout the festive period. The official 'switch on' of the Festive MINI 2022 will take place at The Lexicon Bracknell, on 25 November.
The Festive MINI
Ahead of this year's fundraising period, Nico said, "I'm delighted to be bringing the Festive MINI back for 2022 to raise more money for charities that are really close to my heart. I love having the opportunity to cheer people up whilst raising funds for the MS Trust and Duchenne UK".
"My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis seven years ago and the MS Trust were instrumental in supporting her to understand her condition and how to cope. Back in 2019 I was asked to take the Festive MINI to surprise an incredible young boy, Marcus Rooks, who had been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a genetic condition that causes degeneration of muscles. It was incredible to see his smile light up and a reminder that the Festive MINI is truly special and brings joy to many each year".
