We're going to !

The Mongol Rally is in its seventh year and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for various charities over the years. More details can be found on the Adventurist's website- http://mongolrally.the adventurists.com/

Basically we're driving from to Ulaanbaator, ( obviously) via Europe, , , , , , and . The event starts on 24th July 2010 and it should take us about four weeks to complete the 11,000 mile trip.

The event is completely unsupported so if we break down in a desert, we're on our own. The car we drive will also be auctioned off when we finish to raise even more money for charity. We will be paying for all expenses, (car, fuel, visas, return flights etc) so everything donated is going to charity. Did we mention that the car we're driving is a 1.0 litre Nissan Micra...!

We are supporting four charities in total but as we can only have one charity per page below are the links to the other charities.

Christina Noble Children’s Foundation (CNCF)

CNCF have a variety of projects in Mongolia that change the lives of kids who have often been given a pretty rough hand in life. The funds from the Mongol Rally support the running costs of the incredible Blue Skies Ger Village in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The Ger Village houses abandoned or homeless children and gives them a new chance in life with a safe place to live, education, and all the support of a family with their innovative techniques.

Each residential ger is staffed by a Ger Mother, often a single parent herself, who creates a loving home for the children. Older children help to care for the younger, and assist their ger mother with simple domestic chores. The team running the village is continually looking for innovative and effective ways to deliver a better environment for the children and funding has enabled a range of improvements.
At school age the children are enrolled alongside their peers at the local district school: learning within the community and gaining vital qualifications for later adult life.

CNCF doctors visit several times per week, and a team of two Managers, both themselves qualified doctors, are constantly on-hand to advise, protect and encourage the children.
Wherever possible the Foundation seeks to reunite children with their families and assist the family face the future together.

You can donate to CNCF on this page.
