Story

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Myself Arjun and Vik will be racing in the Wacky Rally in June.

 The rules are basically you have to buy a banger under £300 and race it from Lille in the north of France to Rimini on the East Coast of Italy, the race is through 6 countries!  Me, Vik and Arj are proud to say we have bought a 25 year old banger Mercedes for £299 (that is just about road worthy!) and we hope it will last us the 1,500 mile race (and just to add the route is not an easy  point to point drive- but it takes us through some of the most breathtaking roads Europe has to offer with  beautiful scenery, to make up for the long journey in a car with no air conditioning)! 

The following is the itinerary of the race:

Day 1- Lille to Thun (a town in the middle of the alps)

Day 2- Thun to Livigno 

Day 3- Livigno to Cortina

Day 4- Cortina to Rimini

We are raising money on behalf of Action for Kids. It is a charity that does vital work in the UK, in making sure disabled children have a chance to live a life they can choose just like everyone else. Action For Kids is a independent, national charity working with disabled children, young people and their families. They remove the barriers to independence so many young disabled people face by providing mobility equipment not available on the NHS, work experience, access to employment & essential life skills training. Take a moment to have a look at their website, they do brilliant work.

For those of you that remember, I ran the New York Marathon in 2011 for the same charity through University.

For every business that donates £50 or more we will create and stick their company logo on our car! 

We will be writing a blog about our epic race, uploading photos and videos on Facebook and on our website (which is on its way shortly) to keep you all informed of our progress!
