My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. We made it to UB so thank you to everyone who donated.

This summer Laura, Nick, Max and Omar are participating in the Mongol Rally in aid of the Mercy Corps:

1 totally incapable car, 1 destination, 10,000 km, 5 weeks, 3 intrepid explorers and 1 question: KHAN WE FIX IT?

The answer is most probably not as we set off in 1.2 litre Skoda Felicia (pacific) car from Goodwood, England to Genghis Khan’s home: Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Just a quick thumb through the Lonely Planet demonstrates the foolishness of this task:

"Travelling around Mongolia with your own car or motorcycle-without a driver-is not recommended. What look like main roads on the map are often little more than tyre tracks in the dirt, sand or mud and there is hardly a signpost in the whole country." Lonely Planet 2008

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mercy Corps 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.

Many thanks
