Cannonball Run Europe 2004
Fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support
Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Relief will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So, what is The Cannonball Run? A driving adventure, a physical and mental challenge, a meeting of man, machine and mayhem. Expect the unexpected and be prepared for an event that you will remember forever. A 2,863 mile route with breathtaking roads and stunning scenery. It's not a race but the rules will tax your abilities to the limit.
It doesn't matter what you drive: Lamborghini or Lotus, Ferrari or Ford, Mini or Mazda - these were just some of the machines entered on last year's event. It ain't the metal that counts but the spirit you bring with it.
What other event pitches an F40 against a London taxi, multi-millionaires against milkmen and all with an equal chance of winning? And all with a common desire to have the time of their lives? Only Cannonball Run Europe! From snaking mountain passes to fast sweepers on the Mediterranean borders and with exclusive use of a race track along the way, it's guaranteed to be the drive of your life.
To complete The Cannonball Run you will need to navigate your way through a series of checkpoints. Your route to the next checkpoint will only be revealed at the end of each leg so you won't know where you are going until you get there! Just taking part is an achievement, winning is nothing short of life changing! The victorious team takes the title and a free entry into next year's event to defend their crown. Their names will also be engraved onto the prestigious Cannonball Trophy, held at Cannonball HQ. How do you win? A target time has been set for each stage (achievable without breaking the speed limits) and all you have to do is match it. At each overnight hotel you can view the Leader Board and check out your progress. Hit the front early on and take the coveted Yellow Jersey! The overall trophy is awarded at the final night gala dinner held back in England. This is Cannonball Run Europe. Outrageous driving machines, the very best driving roads and an "up for it" crowd. An unforgettable adventure with luxury hotels, quality dining and the infamous Cannonball parties staged at top nightclubs along The Run. It is "the time of your life" and you have been warned. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. IF WE HIT £3,000.00 I'LL SHAVE ALL MY HAIR OFF! NOW THAT WOULD BE FUNNY! PLEASE GIVE SOMETHING! ALBERT
