My story

 
In Summer 2008 James Sanderson, Visesh Sankaran and Adam Piper, a bunch of bumbling semi-competent undergraduates from various backgrounds,  will be driving a quarter of the way around the world in a car that is nearly as old as they are in aid of the Cambridge-Mongolian charity CAMDA (Cambridge Mongolian Disaster Appeal). Their momentous journey will begin in London on the 5th July, and end in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia if and when they arrive approximately a month later - a month that will be filled with potholes, dust, deserts, baking days, freezing nights and more adversity than you can shake a stick at. Separately utterly useless, together they create a machine of incredible mediocrity that is, or will be by launch day at least, (barely) Fit For Purpose.

All proceeds raised via this site will go directly towards helping those in need in Mongolia, and at the same time help Team FFP towards their goal of raising over £1000 before they set off on their adventure, so please give generously!

For more information on visit www.fitforpurpose.me.uk or join our Facebook group 'Fit For Purpose'.

Finally, if you would rather support a charity closer to home, we are also raising funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust at www.justgiving.com/fitforpurposeant.

Thank you!
