My personal message:
Thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising site!
 
We are excited to embark on the 2009 Mongol Rally, a ridiculous journey from London, England to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, but whether we make it or not won’t determine if it is a success…your donations will. While the physical objective may be to reach Ulaanbaatar in one piece (or as close to it as one can be), the true purpose of this fun, unique, crazy, wild, and sometimes sadistic adventure is to raise as much money as possible for the charities that the rally targets.
 
We have chosen Mercy Corps as our charity of choice. Founded in 1979, Mercy Corps is a 501c3 that works with nations all over the globe by providing educational, economical and agricultural programs. We will be passing through four of the thirty-five nations where Mercy Corps is currently undertaking work : Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia.
 
Thanks again for taking the time to visit our site and please donate what you can. Anything and everything helps. If you would like to help us in other ways please do not hesitate to contact us.
