PMH Media Release June 2012

PERTH COUPLE'S INCREDIBLE 16,000KM JOURNEY

Redcliffe couple Neil and Joanna Seabrook are preparing to travel 16,000 km from London to Mongolia in a second hand car rally organised to raise funds for charity as team Wombat-Khan. 

The Mongol rally is still a year away – but that hasn’t stopped the couples’ determined fundraising effort – the pair will split the money raised between WA’s PMH Foundation and a Mongolian children’s charity. To date Joanna and Neil have already raised more than $3000 for the PMH Foundation, and still have plenty of time to reach their $25,000 target. 

49-year-old Neil and 38-year-old Joanna expect the journey to take six weeks as they travel through Scandinavia, St Petersburg, Russia and Kazakhstan before their car is auctioned off when the pair reach the end of the road at Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. 

In accordance with the rules of the rally, the car driven must be second hand, less than 10 years old and have an engine capacity of less than 1.2 litres. 

Neil said the reason behind their determined fundraising effort for the PMH Foundation was to give something back to the children’s hospital, who among other organisations, made a huge impact on his wife Joanna and his step-son James. 

“Fifteen years ago, Joanna, who was then pregnant, was involved in a car accident in the south west,” he said. “The trauma of the car accident made Joanna go into labour prematurely and they both had to be air-lifted to Perth. 

“Today we are very lucky that James is a healthy 15-year-old boy and it’s nice to be able to give something back to thank PMH for the quality care he received.”  

Neil said they were looking forward to the rally but still had many preparations to go through before the event and just one of the challenges they were likely to encounter in many countries was the roads, with some being almost non-existent. 

“The trip is part of a birthday treat for me next year, as I turn 50, but it’s not only Joanna and I who will enjoy the journey as we hope we can raise enough to be of benefit to the organisations we are supporting as well,” he said.
