Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are a group of 7 adventurous but misguided engineers taking on the Greatest Adventure on the Planet: The Mongol Rally. 10,000 miles with nothing but 3 bangers and our wits, what could go wrong! And now you're wondering.. "Why? Why the f@$k would anyone do this?"
For charity of course! (and "fun")
We are very aware of our privilege due to circumstance and believe that with that comes the responsibility of being self-aware and informed on where we can use this to help others. Shelterbox and the Mongol Rally allows us to do that. We are very fortunate to be in an area that does not suffer from natural disasters or are ravaged by war and cannot even begin to comprehend how difficult that must be. A lot of the time shelter and warmth are things we take for granted so we hope through doing this grueling rally, we are able to gain even the smallest appreciation for those things we often see as basic human rights.
