Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
One very cute original Fiat 500 needing to get from Italy to England with the potential to be an amazing mascot and tool for raising awareness and attention.
Five very adventurous, engaging and passionate ladies.
A mission to use the challenge as an opportunity to help wildlife and show the world what atrocities are committed by hunters/poachers (legally and illegally) in Italy and France.
We will be blogging and vlogging, facebook live-ing, writing news stories, and sharing our discoveries and adventure.
All monies raised will go to CABS. http://www.komitee.de/en/homepage
There are also opportunities to sponsor us with a free/cheap people carrier (back-up vehicle), ferry/tunnel crossings, etc. (contact OliviaNMasi@hotmail.co.uk)
