Charity Update

The rally rules allow us to select our own charity, and both teams have selected the PMH Foundation here in WA. Our combined goal is to raise $25,000 for the PMH Foundation before the end of the rally next year.

Each team must also raise at least 500 UK Pounds for the rally official charity, and for 2013 this is Coolearth.

Team WombatsKhan have already raised the 500 UK Pounds for Coolearth through their sponsor Aviation Network Associates.

The yellow ribbon at the top of the blog will provide the grand total for charity money raised to date by both teams.

To understand what coolearth is all about, follow the link below.

Coolearth

If you decide to donate to coolearth rather than the PMH Foundation please let us have a copy of your receipt so we can link the donation to the teams. Thank you...

Sticky Situation

We just received our car stickers from our local Perth printer, to help us advertise the Rally here in Australia. When we tried to pay the invoice we were unable, as it had been paid for by another of our increasing number of supporters.

Many thanks to Nic Freeman for her generosity today, very much appreciated...

Two Teams One Charity

As most of you know we are two teams, both raising money for the PMH Foundation. You can now donate money to the PMH Foundation via either Team WombatsKhan or Team Kangakhann, or why not both. Look on the right side of the Team Blog and follow the Link.

To sponsor the teams, use the link on the left side of the Team Blog.

Official Rally Dashboard

We have a Dashboard on the official Rally Website for WombatsKhan, and KangasKhan will be following shortly. Follow the link below, or the button on the left 'Offical Rally Dashboard - WombatsKhan.

Bit of a gap since our last blog, well we have all been busy planning the route, and looking for cars, and chasing down possible sponsors. Oh, yes we have also been holding down day jobs.

We have our first sponsor!!!

My sister Tanya is our first 'offical' sponsor. Her company Porsham Cakes is helping us get to Mongolia. More information is pending on what Porsham Cakes is all about, but the clue is in the name.....cakes for very special occasions. Tanya (Seabrook) Luke is in the process of putting a website together to show what she can do.

Wombats

Jo and Neil have an affinity with one of Australia's iconic animals, the 'Wombat'. After all we have named our team Wombats Khan !!!!

 

We are going to use the Rally media (This Blog, the Car etc) to advertise the plight of these animals. Hopefully we can help those working with the Wombats to raise funds as we go along with preparing for the Rally, and during the rally itself. When you have a moment, have a look at the websites - we will add links to our Blog in the next few days.

 

We recently touched base with a number of organisations who are working to save the Wombat. The Wombat Foundation is the not-for-profit organisation dedicated to saving the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is one of the world's most endangered species, it is more endangered than the Panda. At last count, in 2010, there were 176 Northern Hairy-nosed Wombats left on the planet..........makes you think doesn't it...
