We're both gambling with our sanity, livers, careers and liberty by driving from London to Mongolia in a 1L, ten years old Toyota Yaris all in the name of adventure and charity. We have faith in ourselves to achieve the former, but hope you can help with the latter by donating.

(Mum's, please stop reading now.) To give you a taste, the paperwork we signed included: "Your chances of being seriously injured or dying as a result of taking part are high. Individuals who have taken part in the past have been permanently disfigured, seriously disabled or lost their life. These are not holidays. These are adventures and so by their very nature extremely risky."

Also, we are popping over to the Afghan border for a bit of 'bants'. Oh and at least one of our (previously) proposed boarder crossings is closed due to armed conflict....

We are funding the trip 100% ourselves. Every penny you donate here goes straight to the charity rather than our petrol tank / vodka kitty.

Money is being split between Cool Earth and Kids Company. Both great charities and we both have especially strong links with the latter who we have worked with for years, and if you would prefer to donate to them then go to www.justgiving.com/not-for-the-social-driver-KC. 

Really appreciated, no matter how big or small your donation.
