Story

We are "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and we aim to have so much fun gearing up to the Dumball Rally 2025 that it becomes contagious. So contagious that you will be motivated to help us help the Teenage Cancer Trust in its noble cause. If you are completely in the dark as to what Dumball is, scroll down for an explanation, but don't forget to scroll back up to see how you can donate to a worthy cause in a most fun way!

For those of you who remember our Dumball 2020 Loco In Acapulco team, The Cannonballers, you know how we parked our Blue Death Trap (1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle) in front of peoples' houses and collected donations to have it removed. After a five-year hiatus, the moment a lot of you have been excitedly waiting for is here! It is time for our beloved blue bug to make its rounds again, but with our team evolving into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so must the car's identity. It is time for the Chitty Bang Bug (CBB) to start visiting people! Unfortunately, when we account for inflation, fluctuations in the global markets, volatility of the cryptocurrencies, the speed of the solenoid in the muffler's ball bearing, and barometric pressure causing joint pains, we have come to a decision that our prices for removal, protection and sending someone's way have increased slightly. We also have some interesting offerings on how to handle the bug as part of our fundraising efforts for the Teenage Cancer Trust! The expected donations are as follows:

-CBB Removal - $25

-Protection from CBB - $35*

-CBB Removal & Protection - $50

-Send the CBB to someone - $15

-Removal & Sending CBB to someone - $30

-Prevention & Sending CBB to someone - $40

-Full Package (Remove, Protect, Send) - $65

-Send Combo (Buy 3 Get 1 Free) - $45

-Out of City Charge (locations outside of Kinston) - +$10

Anyone giving over $100 in donations gets free protection and one free sending of the CBB!

*Protection is not by person, but rather by location/address!!! Having the CBB removed does not equate protection. It can be sent your way again if you don't have protection! And if you don't believe us, ask the individual in this video what happened to him during our last fundraiser and why he's buying protection for multiple addresses!

TO CONTACT US FOR REMOVAL or to give us details like an address to protect or send the CBB to, reach out to any one of us through Facebook Messenger, either as individuals or through the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang group page.

Teenage Cancer Trust is one of Dumball Rally 2025’s chosen charities and teams will be raising money for young people with cancer.

The 2025 Dumball Rally will see a band of intrepid fundraisers take a fleet of old bangers to Majorca, in full fancy dress, covering over 4000km in 7 days.

It’s a carnival of mayhem on wheels - a true test of idiocy and endurance!

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words you have cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing the specialized nursing care and support they need to get through it.

Cancer doesn't just devastate a young persons health. It threatens to take away everything they care about their identity, their independence, and their dreams.

Teenage Cancer Trust fund specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn't stop young people living their lives.

We are most thankful for your donations!
