On the 1st of April 2015 Jonathan, George and Chris will be taking part in the Rickshaw Run - a mad 2700km ‘race’ across the North of India in a 7 horsepower tuk tuk. We will essentially have to spend 2 weeks together on the Indian roads with no set route and just a 3 wheeled glorified lawnmower to get us from Jaismar in the West to Sillong in the East. For a video check the youtube url below:

As part of this mad race we would like to race money for two charities – the Lotus Flower Trust and Cool Earth. The target is to race £500 for Cool Earth as the official Rickshaw run preferred charity and anything above that go to the Lotus Flower Trust that fund the building of schools, homes and similar constructions in remote, rural and often environmentally challenging areas of India.
We would be grateful if you could split any donations across both of these great charities and if the £500 target for Cool Earth (Jonathan's charity page below) has already been hit, then just donate all to the Lotus Flower Trust (Chris or George's page). Both of the charity websites are below:

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
