Our personal message:

Four friends have teamed up to organise the ultimate lifetime experience... during the next year and a half we will be raising money for CARE International by undertaking a challenging journey of 65,000km to drive from the United Kingdom to New Zealand.

Our route will take us through many of the countries where CARE International operates and we plan on visiting local development projects in Eygpt, India and Asia.

Please visit our expedition website at...

http://www.overland-underwater.com

...where we will keep everyone updated with our progress as we travel to New Zealand. Donating through justgiving is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor overland-underwater: CARE International UK 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. The entire expedition costs are being funded by ourselves, with the support of a few product sponsors, so all donations will go directly to CARE International. So please dig deep & sponsor us now, to help us reach our target and help lift our spirits for those times when the vehicles get bogged down yet again and we'll be doing the digging to get free..! Many thanks for your support. Alex, Maz, Martin & Max
