Heart-filled Happiness with Tour de Kent 2013

At the beginning of this year I got a lovely email from a chap called Roger Maddams. He had bought, eaten, and loved a Jackernut from Biffo&Spanky Deli in West Malling. He noticed that this tasty jackernut was wrapped in The Sevenoaks Chronicle, and a light bulb went off for him.....which lead to the email.

You see, Mr Maddams was setting up an amazing 3 day cycling event called Tour de Kent 2013 for May to raise money for CRY (Cardiac Arrest in the Young) and Take Heart charities.












Roger thought that Jackernuts would be the perfect fuel for the cyclists over the event; to be given at the start, finish, various pit stops around the route and at the after party. He thought that as the Sevenoaks Chronicle was the wrapping, that Jackernuts was a Kent based company (of which he was correct) and therefore Jackernuts would fit into the local businesses helping at the event. A reals sense of community is what was needed. How could I refuse, I was honoured to provide Jackernuts at the event and all the profits went to Charity.

And so, a new flavour was born into the Jackernut family, especially for Tour de Kent 2013;

the Honey and Apricot Jackernut really was the bee's knees and was loved by all.

Not only did I make a far few for the event (over 1000) but I had extra piles sold in various haunts of Sevenoaks. Williamsons Butchers, The Stag, Beaux Bagels all had red charity tins and piles of these Jackernuts, and a few workplaces such as SLAM and a law firm in London had a stash too. 

The sales of these extra Jackernuts raised over £100 for the Heart Charities.
