We want 150 people to drive as far as they can in an old banger! This year we're going to drive in covoy to Sicily via 13 countries in 6 days. Cars must be worth just a few hundred quid. When we get there, we'll donate the cars to charity!
Description
Last year we raised £35,000 for TCT's Royal Marsden Appeal, and this year we want to raise over £50,000 for the Royal Marsden Appeal in Surrey! SO JOIN US AND HELP US!
The dumball is a challenge, just like any other that's undertaken for charity.
We can't promise you won't encounter bandits, dodgy cops or the inside of a Serbian police cell - but we can guarantee a collection of anecdotes you'll be telling the grandkids. Bare in mind that if nothing goes wrong, something has gone wrong.
Remember, the fun really starts when you breakdown, get lost, or suffer amazingly tedious set backs. Can you have a good time even after 19 hours sat at a Russian border crossing? Then the dumball is for you. If you dig extremities, and prove you can be heroic under duress, you never know, you might even end up with the big prize: 'The Spirit of Dumball Award', and its a monkey carved out of a coconut.
There is no support network whatsoever covering the dumball. You are on a crazy mad-cap adventure not a school holiday: which means there are no support vehicles, no medical arrangements and no arranged back-up to get you to our destination. The three-per-car rule means you are likely to be able to get into another participant's car if you break down, but you must be aware that there is no guarantee of this. This might sound scary, but don't worry, it's all part of the fun! The dumball will be the most rewarding thing you do this year - so get involved!

The Dumball has given me so much, I like to give a little back. |
