This year we are going to win the Rickshaw Run.

Spencer, Peeyush and William (A.K.A-Team "IndianAdventure.co.uk") are strong competitors in this year's Rickshaw Run, A Cannonball Run type event across India in a rickshaw,  this one with a difference, after the race Mercy Corps give the rickshaws(reconditioned) to poor families in India, providing them with a livelihood.

We race from Kochi (Cochin) across India to Darjeeling 2,000 miles in a 150cc rickshaw; the team is fully equipped (bottle opener, plasters and mosquito repellent) and will win the race!

Thankfully, international flights have been sponsored by Austrian and Lufthansa (flying code share from UK regional airports to most international airports in India). And Benz Travel has sponsored the team’s internal flights - so we are there and back - already an edge over the competition!

Here is where you come in...

So its coming up to Christmas - all the tins are rattling outside the supermarkets and were here asking too- well thank you for reading so far, but this has a difference, you will get to hear the stories and see the pictures we need a hot rickshaw and we need help, so pledge your money and watch us win.  

 (UPDATE 18/12/06)

We are now getting BRAND SPANKING NEW rickshaws - but we need to drum up £800 by the end of the race .....so keep donating please...
