Hello boys and girls, thank you for visiting our fundraising page! We've entered the Rickshaw Run Spring 2010, a daring adventure that will see us 3 fellows tackle the Indian sub-continent in a 150cc auto-rickshaw! We will attempt to conquer thousands and thousands of kilometres, whilst trying to raise thousands and thousands of pounds for 2 very worthy charities!

 

A little about the trip....

Starting in the city of Kochi in the deep south, we will meander our way through coastal towns, cities, deserts, jungles and mountains on our way to our finish point of Gangtok, thousands of kilometres to the north! We have around 2 weeks to conquer the route of our choice, in a beast with a whole 7 horse power! This is an adventure, there are no back-ups, this is no hand-held tour, it’s just us boys, a few spare pairs of pants and a suitcase full of Imodium!

Please see this website for all the information on the trip!

Frank Water Projects....

This is one of 2 charities we are raising for (a different page for each). A target of £500 has been set for each but we intend to exceed this by a long long way. Any money donated goes straight to the charity, all of our costs we pay for ourselves.....travel, food, Imodium....the lot!

The charity will use your donations to fund projects, bringing clean water to Indian villages. To date the charity has completed 32 projects, bringing clean, safe drinking water to 220'000 people. Another 16 projects are in the pipeline (no pun intended), each bringing clean water to 7000 people at a cost of about £7000 a project.
