HELP for HEROES - every single penny goes to the Charity.
Read on! Read on!
Shaun McLaughlin and Mark Aleandri plan to enjoy a little African Madness in a £100 motor(the rules, and we pay!).....by doing the Plymouth (not Paris) Dakar Rally - 28 Dec 08 - 18 Jan 09 for Help for Heroes and local African Charities.
We have a car - a 1987 ISUZU Trooper that has been living in an open field for 3 years and needs a little TLC!!
All we need to do is get the beast on the road and MOT'd for next to nothing (those damn rules again) and then drive it 4100 Miles through Sub Saharan Africa to Timbuctu !!
Unsupported.
We kindly ask you to sponsor us for Help the Heroes...£1 a mile or smaller if you like..and the courageous people we all know who need support get lots more well earned dosh to re-shape shattered lives...
And in Africa we auction the car for the African charities and they get some to re-shape theirs too.....
Simple.
Please please spread the word to as many people as you can so that we can maximise the chances of raising as much as possible for this magnificently worthy cause.

Many Many Thanks

PS Now for the very very serious tax bit...as every penny helps!!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes 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.
