Story

UPDATE: Apparently we have to raise at least £1000 for the official rally charities before we can go, so if this page (http://www.justgiving.com/jamesmess2) hasn't reached £1000 yet, please consider sponsoring there also! Thanks

Pete and Alex are driving to Mongolia in the Fiat Brava you see on the left.  Our chosen causes are Epilepsy Research UK In honour of our good friend Simon and also the official rally charity CNF (Christina Noble Foundation), you can find out more about their very important activities via the links just below.

Throw you money these causes. It will give us hope when we find ourselves trying to kill each other in the middle of the desert that we aren't just there for our own sakes. Or when the grind of 300 miles a day for 28 days starts to get us down.

Of course, we'll be meeting all our own expenses, including bail money, border control bribes, prison food subsidies and hopefully, repatriation costs. Anything you give is going direct to the charities. 

Please give generously! Thank you

We will keep you up to date on our progress here: http://mongolrally09.theadventurists.com/jamessmess
