Welcome!

As you probably know, at the end of May, Gausie & Martini will be buying a banger in New York for $250 or less and then taking it 1500 miles from New York to New Orleans on the BABE rally - and we hope to do this in 4 days.

We're doing this for two reasons - firstly because Save the Children does excellent work in fighting for children in the UK and around the world who suffer from poverty, disease, injustice and violence, and working with them to find lifelong answers to the problems they face.

And, secondly, because trying to get 1500 miles in a jalopy costing just over £100 on foreign soil with virtually no preparation or support is exactly the kind of pointless, dumb and eccentric activity that has peppered our country's history and made it what it is today.

So - for England, Harry and St George, please join us.  Do something equally as rash - dig deep and sponsor us way more than you had planned.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  Save the Children will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

You've all been absolutely fantastic, and we are both astounded and extremely grateful to all of you for hitting our original target of £2,500 on 12th May - over a week before the rally starts.  Accordingly, we have decided to raise the bar and shoot for a little bit more - the new target is $6,000 - which in todays money is just over £3,000.  Please continue to help!
