Thank you for visiting our Mongol Rally 2010 fundraising page!
We are a team of three friends from Seattle, WA, USA set to drive the approximately 8-10,000 miles from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia starting in July 2010 to raise money and awareness for charities there, and to have a lot of fun along the way. We will be doing it all in a small car with a tiny engine, very ill-suited for the miles of highway, potholes, rocks, rivers, deserts and mountain ranges that we will encounter (that is what makes it an adventure, after all).
Why are we doing this?
Well, first, the money being raised is going to some great charity work in Mongolia. Second, the idea of driving 10,000 miles, 1/3rd of the way around the world, in a tiny car, thru countries that most people haven’t even heard of (never mind thought of going to) sounds just too absurd and fun to pass up.
Even though we’re doing this adventure for the excitement and the fun, we’re also doing it to benefit a great charity: Mercy Corps. Once we reach Ulaan Baatar in Mongolia, our car will be donated to charity. We will also donate a minimum of £1000 (about $1500), and with your help, hopefully much more.
Donate what you can, big or small. Every bit makes a difference!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone (and everyone) who you think might want to donate too!
