Welcome - Home to Rome 2008 donation page for FLYING LEGENDS

NEWS UPDATE

Mission to Rome successfully completed.  The Flying Legends are back in Blighty though team mascot, Woody, has gone AWOL in Rome.  Of course it was never a race..... but we were FIRST of 75 teams! 

We still need your help with our other objective.  Please help make sure we pass our £2,000 fund raising target for Ovacome.  These funds will support their specialist work to help those affected by ovarian cancer.  One of our team members' wives knows how invaluable this can be. 

All donations will go to the charity except for a small admin fee taken from the Gift Aid "tax relief bonus" by "Justgiving".  No money donated will be used to fund our participation in the rally. 

Our intrepid  "air" crew - Steve "Twinkle" Twine; Rex "Guy" Gibson; Graeme "Clackers" Claxton; Graham "Squiffy" Urwin - AND Woody

Our mission - Prove that with bulldog spirit we can avoid the flak and conquer all that Europe throws at us.  Chocks away on 25th September; we aim to reach Rome by Monday 29th September. (See the Route)

Our Plane - A £100 budget constraint means we have had to settle for a 17 year old banger instead. A trusty 1991 Honda Legend Auto with 3.2 litres of throbbing power under the bonnet.

The Support Squadron - We will be travelling with 75 other nutty teams, loosely organised into an expeditionary force by "Home2Rome" rally organisors. (See the Teams)

Why? - Still working on that one.................

Help Ovacome help those affected by ovarian cancer.  Use this Justgiving page which is quick, easy and totally secure.

PLEASE SPONSOR US NOW!
