Mototaxi Junket · 28 April 2009

Operation Smile provides free cleft surgeries for children around the globe. We train local doctors to give them the expertise to carry out these surgeries long after we have gone. In as little as 45 minutes & for just £150 we can provide surgery that will transform a child’s life forever.

Story

Welcome to the Pirates Rest fundraising page. The only place to donate you money for our crazy journey, accept no substitutions! The brief is simple traverse the South American continent from the capital of Peru to the capital of Paraguay in thirteen (unlucky for some) days travelling 4000km in the process. All in the name of the amazing charity Operation Smile which is great. What’s not so great is our mode of transportation. This will all be done in the South American equivalent of the rickshaw, the humble Mototaxi.  If this isn't stupid enough we'll also be attempting to drive the whole trip without using any highways. Back roads ALL the way baby. Woo hoo, I think. To keep a check on our preparations and progress through the event you can go to http://mototaxijunket09.theadventurists.com/piratesrest. To contact us you can e-mail us at piratesrest@btinternet.com.

I think you'll agree that this is all in aid of a great cause so we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for visiting this page and donating generously.
