Welcome you awesome person you!
You have come to the right rally group. Please carry on reading and get to grips why you should donate your hard earned cash to this well-deserved cause.
We have decided to raise money for a charity that are close to our hearts, Prostate Cancer UK
Many members of our family's and friends and have suffered from a number of types of cancer and many have fought through it but unfortunately not all of the where are as lucky.
We support Prostate Cancer UK because most if not all of us have been effected by someone we know having this illness. 1 man will die every hour, 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer and this year alone 40,000 men will need help from Prostate Cancer UK
However we are slowing winning against this horrid illness and the good news is that prostate cancer can be successfully treated if caught early and what better way to raise awareness than with a rally across Europe spreading the word and raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.
To raise money we will be taking part in the Ramshackle Rally to drive 1500 miles over 4 days in £200 bangers and i mean right bangers. We must haul our few quid’s worth of scrap metal from Buckinghamshire all the way down to the South West of Italy and then over to Valencia in East Spain with the other 200 teams. Our team of nine (none of who have any mechanical experience) must reach the finish line on the Monday the 26th of august or suffer the wrath of the rally gods and of course lose all self respect and any shred of manliness we may of had.
This rally is a competition and if we are victorious in all the tasks set by Ramshackle Rally we will win the grand prize! Money! - the best of prizes. All of which we will donate to Prostate Cancer UK on top of all your lovely donations.

£750 - Ben and Kieran will host a boxing against each other!
