Two Ball rally London to Lisbon · 23 April 2026

Prevent Breast Cancer is the only UK charity funding ground-breaking research solely aimed at preventing breast cancer for future generations. Our research will one day bring about a world where breast cancer is preventable and thousands are saved from ever experiencing this terrible disease.

Story

Malcolm Finlayson and Ian Kapochkin are raising funds for prevent breast cancer in memory of Jean Finlayson, Malcolm's mother, affectionately known as 'Hippo' hence the team name of Hippo's Heroes.

The Two Ball Rally is a 5 day challenge to drive from London to Lisbon in a Ford KA costing less than £700 ! We have bought a 2007 model which we are hoping will get us there.!!

What could possibly go wrong!

Predict. Prevent. Protect. You could call it our mantra. As the only UK charity entirely dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer, we’re committed to freeing the world from the disease altogether. Unlike many cancer charities, we’re focused on preventing, rather than curing. Promoting early diagnosis, screening and lifestyle changes, we believe we can stop the problem before it starts. Being situated at the only breast cancer prevention centre in the UK, we’re right at the front-line in the fight against the disease.
