Yash, Tony and Resh's Rickshaw Run from Jaisalmer to Kochi
Fundraising for Cool Earth
Story
Our Adventures:
Now a memory........2009 Team of eight took part in the Mongol Rally in a 1000 CC VW Polo's drove from London to Ulaan Baatar taking the silk route through Europe, Turkey, All Stan's and Russia.
This time it's another crazy adventure, 14 of us are taking part in India travelling in 5 Rickshaws from north desert's of Rajasthan (Jaisalmer City of "Love") to south of India Kerela Kochi.
While UK negotiates it's exit from Europe, we will be negotiating the crazy traffic of India (people, cars, rickshaws, lorries, cycles, cows, monkeys....list is endless) on highways, dirt roads and city centre's of Ahmedabad, Mumbai etc.
Why, you may ask!! Well there are 2 reasons. Firstly, it's adventure of lifetime (fully funded by the participants) secondly to raise as much money as possible for Cool Earth Charity.
Cool Earth
Cool Earth is an environmental charity that works in
partnership with indigenous communities.
The charity only protects rainforest that without
intervention will be destroyed within the next 18 months.
Cool Earth works strategically, protecting forest
that acts as a barrier to a wider landscape.
The charity spends just 10% of your donation on admin
and governance making sure as much as possible goes to project areas.
Through working with local people Cool Earth makes
sure conservation goes hand in hand with better livelihoods.
We will be collecting money for Cool Earth. In the last 40 years,
over half of the world's rainforest has been destroyed. This is devastating, not only for the world, but for our future generations. Cool Earth works with local communities to ensure that the solutions are there to stay. and not just a temporary patch-up job.
We would appreciate any donations no matter how small or large because when added together it can make a difference.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. So please donate now..
