Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So, Mark Christian (me) and Mark Cranefield have taken up the Dumball Challenge for 2018. It's the silly version of Gumball (if you've heard of that).

We'll buy an old banger for no more than £500, decorate it and drive it, wearing fancy-dress, 2000+ miles across Europe. Our route takes us from Brighton, through France & Switzerland across the alps, through Venice, Italy and on into the Balkans (Croatia, Saajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo) then onto Albania and finally a ferry to Corfu.

Mark and I are supplying the car and paying for all the expenses - hotels, petrol (so much petrol) and flight home - so the Teenage Cancer Trust will receive 100% of your donation.

While I expect this to be a great deal of fun - including crossing non-EU, armed borders, all while wearing fancy dress; you are not paying for us to have a good time - all your money goes to charity.

Please give as generously as you can - it's for a great cause. The Teenage Cancer Trust do excellent work looking after young people, who are often scared and vunerable. Perhaps, as I do, you've known someone who has been taken by cancer, perhaps not; either way your donation will be put to good use by the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Sincerely,

Mark
