As a voulenteer crew member at Chiswick RNLI I see first hand how far your donations go in helping those in need on the water. I wanted to combine a gruelling 7 day desert rally in classic Fiat Pandas with one of my favourite charities, and what a better way of connecting the arid deserts of Morocco to the stormy shores of Britian and the busy Thames.

One classic Panda, two drivers, fix it yourself, over 7 days, covering 3,000km across some of the most inhospitable landscapes in the world. I'll be posting updates of our rally progress on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/chrisfliesuk/) whenever we get a phone signal.

Every penny you donate will go the the RNLI, all costs of the Panda Raid, car etc has been covered by Simon and myself.

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.

RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.

Thank you.

Chris & Simon
