🚗💛 2,700 Miles. One £350 Audi. One Father & Son. One Life‑Saving Cause.
On 11th June 2026, my dad and I are setting off on a 2,700‑mile banger rally from Cornwall to Monaco and back — in a car worth less than £500.
And yes… we found a £350 2004 Audi A4 Avant.
After 16 years working for Audi, it had to be an Audi.
But this rally isn’t about the car.
It’s about something far bigger.
💛 Why I’m Doing This
At 18, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
For months I was told it was “nothing to worry about”.
Then, sitting in a hospital room with my dad beside me, I heard the word no young man expects to hear: cancer.
While my mates were planning nights out, I was learning about chemotherapy, surgery, fertility fears, and the terrifying unknowns that come with a cancer diagnosis.
I was told I might never have children.
I was scared.
I was overwhelmed.
And I needed support.
That’s where It's in the Bag Testicular Cancer Support comes in.
They are the ONLY dedicated testicular cancer charity in the South West, supporting men from checking and diagnosis through treatment and life beyond.
Their reassurance, honesty, humour, and practical help make the darkest moments survivable.
Today, I’m one of the lucky ones.
I caught it early.
I made a full recovery.
And I now have two perfect little boys of my own.
So now it’s my turn to give something back.
🧡 The Reality
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15–45
2,500+ men are diagnosed every year in the UK
When caught early, it’s over 96% curable
Awareness genuinely saves lives
🚗 The Rally Route
Starting in Namur (Belgium) → Freiburg (Germany) → Switzerland → Italy → Monaco & Nice…
…and then all the way back again.
In a 22‑year‑old £350 Audi.
What could possibly go wrong?
