Update 5th March 2012

The Charity

Very exciting for us, we have selected the Australian charity we wish to support. In the end it was not that difficult to identify a most appropriate cause, and after some friendly discussions we have chosen the wonderful team at the The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, the children’s hospital for Western Australia. We are now proud supporters of the PMH Foundation. 

PMH is one of five Australian hospitals fundraising together under the Children’s Hospitals Foundation. The PMH website is:- http://www.pmhfoundation.com/ 

We will now be spending much of our free time generating cash for this great cause.

You can use the PayPal link on the blog to contribute directly or e-mail us if you need more details on how to contribute, we can accept cash / cheques etc. More on the charity at the next update.

The Blog

We have an official blog and will use this to keep everybody updated on our preparations for the rally. We do intend to keep sending an update by e-mail as well, at least for the next few months.

The address for the blog is: http://ulaanbaatarorbust2013.blogspot.com.au/ for those less computer literate (like me!!) cut and paste this address into your browser, and it will direct you to our Blog, then make sure you save it as a favorite!! Once on the page, you will see a ‘followers’ link, and a follow by e-mail link, either link will ensure you are kept up to date with changes to the blog. You will get an e-mail whenever we add something to the blog.

The Sponsors

We have our first sponsor, a college from Neil’s time in Redhill (South of London, UK) has committed 500 of those Great British Pounds. What a brilliant start, and our thanks go to him. 

We will be exploring all options in the next 12 months for further sponsors, and will keep you all posted on our progress. If you are willing to help a good cause, that will attract considerable media interest please drop us a line.

Charity v Sponsorship

Keep it simple stupid.....

Any money raised for our Charity, goes directly to the Charity, we take zero commission. 

However, to help us fund the rally we are looking at sponsorship, each team (car) will have to find around $30,000 (Aus) which is a lot of money for anyone to self fund. 

If you would like further information on the Charity or Sponsorship please drop us an e-mail and we will happily discuss.
