Welcome to my JustGiving page.

Once again Team Tonka will be taking part in the Macmillan 4x4 Challenge, an off road event which this year will be held over 4 days starting on Thursday 3rd March and finishing on Sunday 6th. 

The Mac 4x4 is a challenge undertaken by 4x4 enthusiasts to raise funds for the charity, MacMillan Cancer Support. The event in the past has been a  three–day competition in navigational, orienteering, observation and driving skills, with on and off road driving stages. This year it will be held over 4 days starting at Britpart on Thursday 3rd March 2011.

Each team consists of two people and it is a test of their endurance by day and night to navigate a course of up to 1,000 miles guided by a trail of clues.

The Mac 4x4 routes are compiled with the usual cunning tactics of the organiser Selwyn Kendrick and his amazing team to confuse and tax even the most seasoned Mac 4x4 campaigners. Stages in the past have always consited of wonderful forest sections with great helpings of snow and lashing of mud along with (usually!) glorious sunshine to keep our spirits up en route.

As 2011 will be the 100th anniversary of Macmillan Cancer Support and the 10th year of the event, this will be a year to remember, hopefully due to the increasing amount of money we are all hoping to raise. Each year a female celebrity has taken part in this event with Russ Brown, this year we are delighted to welcome Marisa Wayne, the youngest daughter of legendary Hollywood icon John Wayne.
