Driving across the world to support mental health in Aotearoa!

Unfortunately, suicide is one of the biggest issues that face us in New Zealand today. Whilst attitudes are slowly changing, still too many people are scared to speak up and get help. It is a sad truth that most people, including us, know somebody personally who has taken their own life.

We want to raise as much money as we can for 'Life Matters' by doing something that is sure to gather as much attention as possible. 6 young men from Dunedin (Liam, Finn, Matthew, Eric, Tim and Jack) are taking part in the Mongol Rally in August, a challenge that involves driving from London to the Kazakhstan border, a distance of over 15,000 km. Here's the twist: we are doing it in the cheapest, crappiest car we can find. The current contender is a 90s Nissan Micra; a one-litre, 3 speed car that's falling to pieces.

While we have no set route, the countries that we are going to attempt to drive through are as follows: The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Türkiye, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and finally, Kazakhstan.

Help us help those who need it the most. Please, only consider donating if you are in a position to do so and can afford to do so. Any donation is immensely appreciated, no matter the amount.
