We are aiming to raise money to split between Harry Finch fundraiser and coolearth charity's whilst taking part in the mongol rally.
Otago
First off, let me introduce who we are. We are a group of Queenstown local guys, Donny Macpherson (been in Queenstown 20+ years), Simon Hampton (our token one-eyed Cantabrian, been in Queenstown 7+ years) and myself, Brent Edgerton (born in Queenstown, raised in Arrowtown).
Around six months ago we were sitting, chatting over a couple of shandies and came up with a hairball idea to do The Mongol Rally!! “What on earth is The Mongol Rally?” you may ask; well in a nutshell, we have bought a car for $1800 (you cannot spend more than $2000). The car is a Nissan Micra (due to the cars being restricted to no more than 1000cc) and we plan to drive it over around a third of the world’s surface (10000 miles) from London, all the way to Russia. We will be passing through a total of 21 countries along the way, including places like, Turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and finally Russia. It’s going to be one hell of an adventure!!!!
However; this is not all about us!!! Through doing this epic journey we plan to raise some serious funds for some great local and international charities. The guys that organise the rally have teamed up with Cool Earth who try to put a halt in deforest in the rainforest and we have teamed up with Harry Finch fundraiser who is a 3 year old boy with cerebral palsy trying to raise funds to get a operation. We have a massive opportunity to help some great charities out along the way and would like to do everything we can to make sure we raise as much as possible for these two amazing charities.
All money will be split evenly between the two charity's at the end of the rally.
New Target 19 June 2019
Thanks to some very very generous contributions we have smashed the original minimum target of $2000 which The Mogol Rally specify out the field!!!!
We are convinced we can hit our new target of $10,000 for Harry and Cool Earth, with the help of you lovely people out there.
The challenge starts on the 16th of July from London where we will load up the mighty Ron Burgundy for an epic 16,000km trip
