Thank you for visiting the Bad Colonies Motoring Cooperative fundraising page. We're raising money for two great charities as part of out participation in the 2006 Mongol Rally. 

The Bad Colonies team(s) consist of the following members:
    Seth Beck - Driver Mrs. Tigglywinks
        Joshua Rawlings - Co-Driver Mrs. Tigglywinks
    Dominic Frank - Driver Lil' Larry
        Vaughn Weiss - Co-Driver Lil' Larry

Send a Cow gives direct, practical help to poor farmers in Africa, by providing, cows and other livestock, training in livestock rearing and organic farming, and low-cost veterinary and advice services. Send A Cow operates in sub-Saharan Africa, and has focused efforts on working with women, the disabled and child-headed households.

The challenge: travel ¼ of the way around the earth, from London to Mongolia in any car that has an engine with no more than one liter of power.  There are very few rules governing the rally and even less support for the competitors. Teams are on their own to pick their way from checkpoint to checkpoint. As entrants will be driving an outdated shoebox, they will encounter difficulties and will have to continue by their own means. It is like no other competition in the world, less judged by who finishes first and more by who arrives in Ulaanbaatar with the best story.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor the team: Send a Cow will receive your money faster. So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

Note: Donations will be made in pounds sterling (GBP) not US dollars.  As of March 21, 2006,  1 USD = 0.572 GBP (www.xe.com)
