That's right people! I'm doing this thing, and I need your help! I will be driving a reasonably priced car from London England, to Ulan Ude Russia, through Ulaanbaatar Mongolia
It's about 6500 miles direct, but we probably won't be going direct. There's a bit more stops along the way. In addition to helping cover the costs of the trip, your donation will go to two charities that we are fundraising for:
Cool Earth saves at-risk rainforest and shields millions of acres of neighbouring forest. We put local people back in control, giving them the resources they need to keep their forest intact.
We never have and never will buy land, instead we help the local communities take legal control of their forest. We promise that more than 90p in every £1 you donate will go straight to our projects.
Set up in 1977, Sea Shepherd started out as small dedicated team lead by founder, Captain Paul Watson. Now in 2014 this small organisation has expanded world wide into a global movement, with a mission to protect the bio-diversity of our oceans, primarily with direct action.
The goal is $32,000. This will pay for all of our estimated costs, as well as the charitable donations to both charities. This is what the money will go to (the quotes are in pounds, as the organization running the Fundraiser is British...).
