Mototaxi Junket · 11 June 2009

Operation Smile provides free cleft surgeries for children around the globe. We train local doctors to give them the expertise to carry out these surgeries long after we have gone. In as little as 45 minutes & for just £150 we can provide surgery that will transform a child’s life forever.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

After doing the Crumball rally last year, Dave thought we needed something more challenging. So this year we are spending 2 weeks travelling from Lima in Peru to Asunción in Paraguay, a small journey of approx 2800 miles to be completed in 2 weeks! To make it more difficult we are not travelling by car but by mototaxi. To read more on what we are doing have a look at http://mototaxijunket09.theadventurists.com/index.php?mode=teamwebsites&name=are-we-nearly-there-yet

The machine of choice is the humble Mototaxi. Invented in Peru and not really perfected anywhere. Built from a motorbike and a few bits of pipe these hardy little ferrets are designed for pootling around the back streets of cities. Which makes them perfect for dirt tracks, waist high mud, the Andes and sand dunes. Is it possible to get so far in such small machines over such completely ridiculous terrain? Who knows, but that is exactly what we intend to find out!

Please note. This is not paying for a holiday for us. We have booked flights, accomodation etc separately. All of the money raised on this page goes direct to Operation Smile. http://www.operationsmile.org/countries/uk/

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Operation Smile United Kingdom gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.   

So please sponsor us now!
