Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi I'm Debs I am a registered Nurse working at the Emergency Department Review Unit , I nurse and  care for patients who require a short stay in hospital .

When my lovely man David asked me if I'd join him doing the Dumball 17 Rally  I said to him ...I'm a really terrible driver ! and I have absolutely no sense of direction at all ! and I'm 55  !! !! BUT THEN I SAID YESSSS !!!   so Dumball 17 here we come , I'm so so excited 😃😃 but not going to lie I'm nervous too 😳😬

The Dumball  17 banger rally is going to be  extreme challenge, it involves driving over 1400 miles across North West India in a convoy of 40 really old Mahindra jeeps ! But to  add the fun factor to this adventure everyone goes in fancy dress , me and David will be dressed as Minions and we get to decorate the jeep too !! There are also  daily team challenges along the way too . 

Here's links if you wanna check the challenge out a bit more :-
