Thank you for visiting The Mongol Mugs fundraising page.

Hopefully you know a bit about The Mongol Rally, and what we are going to do once we have raised the big money - if you dont its basically to travel 10,000 miles, tackle 7 mountain ranges, 3 deserts, bandits, roads ranging from bad to non-existent from London to Mongolia, and all this in any crap car that has an engine with no more than 1 ltr of power! Also, if you haven't already, check out www.mongolrally.com where under the teams section, you can keep up to date with the latest blogs and scroll through photos of the rally. We also have a new website - www.freewebs.com/mongolmug so you can see more photos and video's of the journey.

The Cause: Mercy Corps

Mercy Corps Mongoia supports rural communities and herding families through economic, educational, and agricultural programs. Over the past five years, Mercy Corps has established a strong reputation across the vast Gobi region, and continues to work with business associations and local organisations to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions. Mercy Corps Mongoia has established a strong organisational structure and reputation in six aimags of the Gobi region, and is currently expanding operations in order to help thousands of more people.

We have posted a picture of our car 'Gabi' (a 17yr old vauxhall nova) who will (hopefully) take on and win against the gargantuan Kazakh desert, the trechurous Ala-Too Mountain Range, and hairy gun-waving locals, but really should not have made it down the M20 in one piece, to remind you what we have let ourselves in for once we raise the cash! We want to raise as much money as we can for good causes helping people in Mongolia and other desperate parts of the world.
So please dig deep and sponsor us online!!!!!!!!!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Mercy Corps Scotland 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.


Many thanks for your support.
