Dumball 2012: Back to Black


Light Brigade are taking part in Dumball 2012: Back to Black - a mad dash (it's not a race!) across Europe in a load of old bangers. Dumball 2012 promises to be bigger and even better than ever. We are driving to the Ukraine via no less than 14 amazing countries, fundraising for Teenage Cancer Trust as we go. As well as driving the length of Italy, zipping through Albania, and hitting the Carpathian mountains in Romania, we are visting Moldova and Ukraine for the first time ever. Check out the route map here


Here's what this sorry bunch of misfits had to say when they applied to join the dumball:

Because James Addy said we should! As of yet we haven't decided on a motor or theme, but be assured it will be within the spirit of Dumball!


Now the important bit. Since 2007, the dumball has been raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust to build a state-of-the-art unit at a recognised centre of excellence, the Royal Marsden Hospital. This is now open, thanks in part at least to the fundraising efforts of Dumballers. Help young people with cancerin the South East who are being treated at the Cancer Centre of Excellence at The Royal Marsden by donating today.  

Want more of a reason to help us raise the cash?
Just watch the video of legendary dumballer Adam Horn...

We painted the car on the weekend - photos to be posted shortly. Big thanks to Colin Hawkes at OK Garage Milton Keynes for generous donation of his time and materials to do the spray painting. We heartily recommend him for all your auto spray painting requirements

My charity

Teenage Cancer Trust

Teenage Cancer Trust

Charity Registration No. 1062559

Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.
