No Maps, No Plan, Just Purpose – Help Us Rickshaw for a Cooler Planet!

is raising money for Cool Earth

Rickshaw Run India - April 2025 · 3 April 2025 to 18 April 2025 ·

We’re Cool Earth. We exist to champion the relationship between people, rainforest and climate. And the best way to do that? Back, support and listen to the people living there and take climate action with Cool Earth.

Story

Chris & Michelle, two mildly unhinged Australians with a thirst for adventure and a loose grip on reality, are setting off on a rickshaw odyssey across India. Alongside some equally reckless long-time friends, we’ll navigate the chaos, beauty, and mystery of this incredible country in a glorified lawnmower on wheels. No GPS, no support, just vibes, questionable street food choices, and a deep appreciation for the kindness of strangers. The goal is to get from Fort Kochi to Jaisalmer - about 2,500km. Fortunately, we are not alone and will be on touring with some very old friends.

But this isn't just about getting lost in the backroads of Rajasthan or dodging cows with more road rights than us—we’re raising money for Cool Earth, a brilliant charity fighting to protect rainforests and combat climate change. The planet is hotter than a Mumbai footpath in summer, and that’s no good for anyone. Every dollar you donate goes straight to keeping trees standing, supporting indigenous communities, and giving the world a fighting chance to stay "cool."

So, if you want to help save the planet and enable some questionable life choices, smash that DONATE button. Every bit helps, and in return, you'll get updates from the road—expect chaos, breakdowns (both mechanical and emotional), and the occasional spiritual awakening in a roadside tea stall. Let’s do some good while making some memories—join us on this wild ride! 🌿💚
