On the 24th July this year, Darren and Dave Evans are setting off, from near London, in a 1.2 litre Fiesta with no support or back up, on an epic adventure, all for charity as part of the Mongol Rally 2010!
10,000 miles and a third of the way around the earth, from Europe to Mongolia via a plethora of countries most people haven't heard of in a car that has an engine with no bigger than 1 litre. Starting from England, Spain and Italy, the rally finishes in the Mongolian capital Ulaan Baatar around four weeks and a whole heap of adventure later.
Their mission is to raise as much money as possible for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation. The CNCF is an International Partnership of people dedicated to serving underprivileged children with the hope of helping each child maximize their life potential. Their programmes in Vietnam and Mongolia seek to protect children at risk of economic and sexual exploitation, while ensuring these and other children in need have access to basic care and educational opportunities.
Such an exciting adventure and such a noble cause - I had to show my support, even in a small way. So, I made a donation and they VERY kindly popped a sticker on their car. Very proud that my little logo will be traveling all that way and very envious of all of the amazing sites it will see and the adventures to be had. Good luck Dave and Darren - you truly are two VERY brave men!! Follow their progress via their Facebook page.
