6 Kiwis, 2 Rickshaws, 1 Big Adventure

$4,050 of $4,000 goal
Given by 49 generous donors in around 4 months

In August, six kiwis will embark on a 2,500km race through India in two unreliable Rickshaws... all in the name of charity!

Auckland

We are undertaking an epic Rickshaw adventure, travelling over 2500km in a 7 horsepower glorified lawnmower across India.....DURING MONSOON SEASON

Starting in Cochin at the bottom of India, we will head north, driving 10 hours a day racing the clock and 60 other teams to be the first to reach Jaisalmer. We expect this to take 14 days, but this trip is so much more than just a grueling journey with no set route, no back up, and no common sense.

This is an opportunity for us AND you to help make a meaningful difference by raising funds for underprivileged kids living in India and Sri Lanka (Cricket Live Foundation) and help to halt rainforest destruction (Cool Earth).

All of the fundraising efforts will be donated to the following two charities:

Cricket Live Foundation - Whose goal is to use cricket as a vehicle to develop the life skills and education of underprivileged children from marginalised communities in Sri Lanka and India. Through sport, these children can be given direction, provided with opportunities to further themselves and most importantly, a pathway for their futures.

Endorsed by Sir Richard Hadlee, find out more at https://www.cricketlivefoundation.org/

Cool Earth - Who work alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction. Already, they have stopped over 600,000 acres going up in smoke. By empowering local villages with schools, medical facilities, safe water, evacuations, and even building homes, Cool Earth is able to save our rainforests and leave behind a better planet for all our children.

Use of funds

50% of money raised goes to Cricket Live Foundation, and 50% goes to Cool Earth, the official charity of the Rickshaw Run - every cent donated to this page will go to the charities. We are covering all costs of the trip ourselves.
