Story
Welcome to the SkipLizard CNCF donation page!
Follow two good ol' Texas boys as they scamper halfway around the world with no resources beyond their own wits and a car best suited for a sledgehammer and a pep rally, all for the sake of charity and wild adventure.
In July 2007, we leave London as part of the Mongol Rally, with no backup and even less experience. 7 mountain ranges, 3 deserts, 20 countries, and 10000 miles of poor to non-existent roads later, we will arrive in the middle of Mongolia.

Sponsor us!
With your help, we will reach the "Red Hero" having raised loads of cash for two great charities and touched lives a world over. This charity is The Christina Noble Children's Foundation, or CNCF (description below). We are also sponsoring Mercy Corps Mongolia. Check out that donation page at skiplizard_mercycorps.
Consider our causes, dig deep, give generously, and know that you've helped fantastic organizations doing work to help people with no other options.
You can figure out your conversion from dollars to pounds sterling here.
Christina Noble Children’s Foundation (CNCF)
CNCF continues to change the lives of disadvantaged children in Mongolia. Here are a few of the projects they are currently running:
The Sunshine Ger Village Project shelters street children and orphans. A large number of children in Mongolia are forced to leave home because of poverty and abuse. They live in the sewers to avoid the extremely harsh winters. CNCF aims to bring these children into a community where they can be nurtured, and potentially reunite with their families one day.
The Sponsorship Program links a sponsor to children of families in danger of splitting or pulling the children out of school. Again, the aim is to keep families together for the sake of the children's maximum potential.
The Prison Education Project aims to establish education and rehabilitation programs in prisons that were created under a Soviet concept of punishment rather than treatment. Even imprisoned children typically received no education or post-release preparation prior to CNCF.
The Healthcare Project completely renovated the pediatric wing of the Ulaanbaatar Charity Hospital and has established a free clinic for people with no money or health insurance, particularly the street children.
The Give a Ger Fund is an emergency fund established to provide families in danger of becoming homeless or dangerously under-accommodated with a family home.
Our Motivation
Choosing this charity was a no-brainer. In addition to our admiration for Christina, some of the people associated with SkipLizard have direct experiences with the street children of Mongolia, and have seen first-hand how hopeless and downtrodden their situation has become.
It is our hope that we can impact the lives of a handful of these kids in a manner that could potentially turn their lives around.
