This October, The Flightless Birds - three Kiwi mates currently living in Australia - are taking on one of the world’s most ridiculous adventures: The Rickshaw Run in Sri Lanka.

We’ll be cramming into a glorified lawnmower on three wheels and navigating jungle roads, wild traffic, and questionable maps - and we'll also be raising funds for Cool Earth, a climate charity working alongside rainforest communities to protect the planet’s most vital ecosystems.

We're trading wings for wheels, comfort for chaos, and tiaras for tuk-tuks - and we need your help.

Donate to our cause, help us protect rainforests, and follow along for the mayhem. Because if we’re risking it all in a tuk-tuk, the planet better win.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
