Olly Rowland and Frank Claydon 'Team Badger - Mission Imp-possible'
The Mongol Rally is a 10,000 mile (depending on your route) rally, all in the aid of charity. Starting off at Hyde Park in London on the 18th of July 2009, and Finishing at Ulaan Baatar in MONGOLIA approximatly 4 weeks later!
The rules for the rally are very basic, the main one being that the car you do the journey in, has to be worth less than £1000, and have an engine which is 1 litre or less. Basically, an old banger!
Our Chosen vehicle of choice to partake in this epic adventure, is an old Hillman Imp! A car worthy of the challenge we're sure!
After all 300 spaces were taken up within 22 seconds (none of which was a space belonging to us) we were stuck on the waiting list. But low and be hold, a few weeks later, after we thought all hope was lost, we received an email telling us there was a place on the rally if we wanted it! So after scrapeing together the £650 entrance fee, we are now officially going to be part of the Mongol Rally 2009!
We have already had one almighty fundraiser, in which we managed to raise £1000 in less than two months!!!! The money raised was for the Christina Noble Childrens Foundation, and you can find more information at: http://www.justgiving.com/missionimppossible_cncf
As the first thousand pounds was so easy to raise, we think we will be able to raise the same amount again! So we have decided to set ourselves a target of £500 for Diabetes UK, and £500 for Cancer Research UK, and are going to plough on to see if we can raise another thousand pounds!
So yet again we ask you guys to dig deep into your pockets! donate what ever you can to either Diabetes UK, or Cancer Research UK and you can really make a difference!
Thanks for taking the time to donate, and thankyou for visiting our fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Diabetes UK 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.

Olly and Frank
