Nationwide

Edward and Lisa Guy start stage 2 of an epic journey Jaisalmer Rajasthan India April 4th 2015. Driving an auto rickshaw the length and breadth of India to cool earth. The challenge? To raise money for the Live More Awesome Foundation #lma http://www.livemoreawesome.com. http://www.coolearth.org/460/rickshaw-run-goodbye-curry-pie

January 2014 Stage 1 was the North to South leg of the #rickshawrun pan-India 3000 km in 14 days. Raising $2460.00 for New Zealand charity #lma and over 900 GBP pounds for the event beneficaries #coolearth.

Imagine 70-80 teams of up to 4 people, from all walks of life from all over the world - saving the planet. You get one party together; then you are lucky to see each other at all on the challenge. Spend arse shaking 12 hour days for about two weeks somewhere in India. At top speeds of 45 km/hour on roads best described as ghastly. There is something that makes you feel more alive than dodging pink buses of fear and circus trucks along with 1.2 billion other people. This time the challenge is for NZ Team Goodbye Curry Pie to travel from Jaisalmer to Shillong in 11 days.- the wettest place on the planet. Why? Because epic journeys inspire epic things. With your donation Live More Awesome can increase mental wellness. reduce stress and inspire people to #domore#bemore. The LMA Foundation support mental well being and help people deal with depression. Our Cool Earth target is to save 14.3 acres of Awajun forest for the Awajun people of Peru. Living Matters.

Edward and Lisa Guy's involvement (page creator)

Husband and wife couple Edward and Lisa from Arrowtown NZ drive, navigate, brake, use the horn... a lot, and hope for good luck to safely traverse one of the most populous parts of the globe. In a vehicle that is the least sensible choice for the journey. In the hope of inspiring others to DO epic things to deal with depression and to cool our planet.www.todo.net.nz for team blogs and details.
