Dear everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Here’s the lowdown on what we’re up to…

THE CAUSE:

The Teenage Cancer Trust; a charity established to transform hospital wards into suitable environments for teenagers. At a tough time in their lives the TCT has been making it possible since 1990 for young people to be around patients of the same age who are going through the same thing. Before the charity was established you spent the time in an awkward place, often with much older patients or young children. Now there are 28 units spread across the NHS, dedicated to specialist support, all across the UK. And with some extra help they can do even more.

THE CHALLENGE:

Welcome to the Dumball rally!

www.Dumball.org

The rules are simple: buy a cheap car (for £500 or less), choose a theme, and decorate the car and yourselves accordingly. Then all we have to do is drive from Margate (starting on Friday 14th of September), through the channel tunnel, across the Alps, swing by Venice, drive through Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, on to Greece and make it to Corfu.

This year we’re going for gold. Literally. Gold car, golden clothes and hopefully plenty of money raised for a very good cause.
It’s going to be quite a challenge, a fair bit of fun, but most importantly a way to raise awareness and plenty of money for a wonderful charity.

FUNDRAISING (where you come in!):

First things first. All the travel, accommodation, food, partywear, spray paint, petrol, visas and everything else Dumball-related is paid for by us. Not a penny you donate will pay for the trip; it ALL goes straight to the TCT to continue their great work.

We’ve set ourselves an ambitious target, and a host of weird and wonderful challenges to raise the money, starting with the Brighton marathon. So, if you can support us, even if you only have a small amount to spare, together we can make a huge difference.

London marathon completed too.
Thanks for reading!

Yours sincerely
Team Gold (Anita, Barry, Linda and Pete)
