Rickshaw Run for the Mental Health Foundation

$1,525 donated
Given by 32 generous donors in around 8 months

We're driving a motorised tuk-tuk 3000km across India over two weeks in Jan 2018, all in the name of mental health!

Auckland

We are three 20 - somethings who are passionate about mental health, the environment and adventure. With those three interests combined, we did something crazy and signed up for 'The Rickshaw Run' - a 3000km journey from the north of India to the south in a motorised tuk-tuk.

In January 2018, we will travel from Jaisalmer to Kochi in a motorised tuk-tuk, plan our own route, drive and repair our vehicle and navigate big and scary cities.

Here's more information about what exactly we're doing: http://www.theadventurists.com/rickshaw-run/

And here's our website:

The reason we are participating in this crazy adventure is to raise as much money as we can for the Mental Health Foundation (https://www.mentalhealth.org.nz/), and Cool Earth (www.coolearth.org) which we need your help to do. Please consider supporting the mental health of New Zealander's, and the world's indigenous rainforests through this page.

We are covering for all of our travel expenses, every cent goes to the charity of your choice.

For our givealittle for Cool Earth:

Your funds will go to helping reduce the stigma of mental health in New Zealand, and provide support for those who need it.

Apparently it's dangerous, so we're literally risking our lives to drive the tuk-tuk. But we'll be fine.
