The Mobile Cocktail Company raises money for Cancer Research

Banger Rally Challenge for Cancer Research
Dorset, April 2011: Based in Sherborne, Dorset The Mobile Cocktail Company has today asked local businesses and residents to help raise money for Cancer Research – as founder Nigel Parker, and close friend Rob Girling, prepare to take on the world famous Moancer Researchtoscape Rally to Bologna.
Open for sponsorship now, Nigel and Rob’s engine will start on 3rd September this year. The gruelling route will take them through five European countries in five days - finishing in Bologna, Italy - with stops at the Nurburgring, Germany and the Ferrari Museum, Italy.
The concept of the Motoscape Rally is to buy a car for £250 or less, turn it into a wacky, eye-catching masterpiece and drive it through some of the greatest roads in Europe – together with hundreds of other motorsport enthusiasts. Nigel and Rob’s plan is to have every person or company making a donation to sign, or add a sticker the car to create a unique vehicle which will really stand out from the crowds.
Commenting on the challenge, Nigel and Rob said: “We both have close friends affected by cancer; specifically liposarcoma cancer and cancer of the oesophagus. The donations that everybody makes will be aimed at these cancers.  Alarmingly, both these types of cancer are on the increase and funds are desperately required to undertake the necessary research to develop better surgical procedures, solutions and treatments.  Of course, all these types of developments also have the potential to benefit many other cancer conditions and non-cancer condition, so regardless of whether people are familiar with the conditions mentioned above, the contributions are important for all walks of life.  We both ask that everybody bears this fact in mind when contributing to this great cause.  The simple fact is, this could be you benefitting from these contributions one day”
The money raised by Nigel and Rob will be co-ordinated through Cancer Research - the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. Cancer Research has saved millions of lives with groundbreaking work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. People’s chances of surviving cancer have doubled in the last 40 years, and the charity has been at the heart of that progress. But more than one in three people will still get cancer at some point in their lives. The charity’s vital work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people survive.
Please note, all costs associated with the rally are being paid by Nigel and Rob themselves.  All donations will go directly to Cancer Research….every single penny!
