Our personal message:

Ciao amigos,

We're raising money for a good cause and this is the how and why:

The Sucata run is an annual rally across Europe. Think Gumball 3000, think Lewis Hamilton and think Paris Hilton and you couldn't be further from what we're doing...

Over the August bank holiday weekend, we've got to drive 2,500 miles from London to Cabo da Roca, Portugal (the most westernly point in Europe) and back... in five days!!!

We've got our own Pagini Zonda cleverly disguised as a 1989 Peugeot 205 convertible. It rattles, smokes a bit and the brakes aren't anything to write home about, but we're sure it won't let us down. After all, it's French!!!

We have bought the car, we are covering the fuel and all of our expenses, which means every penny we raise goes to the charity Gemin-i.

They work to improve education in both the developing and developed worlds. The times we live in are riddled with aggression and violence, most often due to a lack of understanding and respect. Education is the backbone of society and we believe it to be a positive means to overcome these problems.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Africa Bookcase - Gemini 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.

Apart from our enthralling stories and a vivid photo reportage after the trip, we are offering something for your visual and aural enjoyment as a thank you for your support. So, don’t forget to let us know your postal address….

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.

Club Tropicana

Eli Gifford, Alex Hlynskyy and Luke Sikkema
