We're driving 10,000 miles to Mongolia and beyond to satisfy a bit of wander lust and raise money for a good cause (or causes, depending on how you look at it).
We'd like to start by flagging that £500 of the charitable funds the team raises will go to Cool Earth (the sponsor charity of the Rally), to offset the environmental impact of us traipsing halfway around the world in a car that's almost the same age as some of the recently announced England squad. This is one of the few rules relating to Rally participation, and a pretty good one at that.
However, our main charitable interest lies with the Children's Family Trust - an independent (not for profit) fostering agency - who do great work with foster parents to ensure the children under their care benefit from the best possible support. This cause is particularly close to one rally member (Charlie) whose parents welcomed his foster brother into the family 5 years ago - and haven't looked back since.
The CFT really do fantastic work, and if you find out more about them then please visit their website:
