Raising money for

Send a Cow

Charity Registration No. 299717

Send a Cow helps African farmers grow enough food to feed their families, sell their produce and develop small businesses that last.

We do this by providing training, livestock, seeds and ongoing support; and by helping families make the most of the land and resources they already have.

As a result, families are happier and healthier, children are educated, homes are improved.

In turn, these families then pass on young livestock, seeds or training to others. And so on. And so on. This ‘pass on’ principle not only builds stronger communities, it allows us to help even more people to develop skills, confidence and self respect.

The ‘can do will do’ attitude of Send a Cow is born out of our faming roots and our Christian faith. Working hand in hand with African farmers for over 20 years, we prove that farming in Africa works.

My story

*Please check out our website - www.mongolrally-teampanda.co.uk *

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Yes, Mark and I are going to sit in a 1992 Fiat Panda for 3 weeks and drive from London to Outer Mongolia, a mere distance of 8000 miles. The interesting bit is that there are only roads some of the way and the car is well............. not great!!

I suppose you cant winge at the car, it was only £150 !!!!!
Below taken from the Mongol Rally website - www.mongolrally.co.uk " In a world that shrinks by the day, where air travel can whisk you from your home and safely deposit you anywhere on earth in a matter of hours, where going traveling has come to mean nothing more than a package holiday for middle-class teenagers and where you can buy a travel guide to the most remote of corners, what room is there for people who want some real adventure? Gone are the days when you could walk off the edge of the map with nothing more than your wits and a pith helmet for protection. It is into this barren world that the ultimate solution has arrived: The Mongol Rally The mother of all adventures, the Mongol Rally is an 8000 mile dash across ¼ of the earth's surface in cars that most people consider underpowered for doing the shopping. We have no entourage of support vehicles, there is no carefully marked course, there are no professional drivers, fast cars, or even good cars. It's just you, your shite-mobile and thousands of miles of adventure. Not only do we provide the world's most extreme car challenge, you get to save the world at the same time. The Mongol rally is a charity event that raises money for an awesome charity with a slightly ridiculous name 'Send a Cow'." Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Send a Cow will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. James & Mark
