Story

Get ready for the ultimate adventure in January 2024! We're embarking on the thrilling Rickshaw Run, a heart-pounding race across the vast landscapes of India. But this isn't your ordinary race – picture yourself zooming through the country in a glorified cake tin! And the best part? We're not just doing it for the adrenaline rush. We're also on a mission to raise funds for the incredible Darjeeling Children's Trust.

Now, let's talk about why we chose this particular charity. Adam insisted on supporting an organisation that directly impacts the lives of people in India. It only made sense since our epic journey will take us through every nook and cranny of this beautiful nation. As for Mitchell, his previous experience as a teacher in the neighbouring country of Nepal made him passionate about supporting youth in some way.

And that's when we stumbled upon The Darjeeling Children's Trust. This remarkable organisation is dedicated to helping underprivileged children and young people in the mesmerising city of Darjeeling. They go above and beyond to repair schools, provide essential equipment, and ensure basic facilities are in place for the children. But that's not all – they also play a vital role in organising child sponsorship programs, giving these young minds the support they need to thrive.

But here's where our team comes in. The Darjeeling Children's Trust also runs two children's homes, providing a safe haven for those who need it most. And guess what? We're determined to make a difference in the lives of these incredible children. By participating in the Rickshaw Run and raising funds, we'll be able to contribute to the ongoing support and care provided by the trust.

So, join us on this exhilarating journey as we race towards a brighter future for these deserving children. With every mile we conquer and every donation we receive, we'll be bringing hope and smiles to these little faces. Together, let's make this adventure one for the books and create a lasting impact on the lives of the incredible children of Darjeeling.
