And So it Begins...

[/gallery] *Who are we?*

Three engineering students about to embark on a 10,000 mile charity drive from London to Mongolia. In an ancient Ford Fiesta. With no support team, and no hope.

*Why are we doing this?*

...

We're not sure either. We all like a challenge - especially one that can do some good for the world. Comfort zones are there to be pushed. New experiences are there to be had. And banter is there for the taking.

Preparations have just begun. Routes are being planned, visas applied for, and we think we've sourced a vehicle (more to follow soon).

Matt also plucked up the courage to tell his parents what he is doing today (well done Matt!).

We have chosen to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, and Cool Earth, who both do some fantastic work:

Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research aim to improve the lives of blood cancer patients, through funding pioneering new treatments, enhancing diagnosis and personalising treatment methods.

Cool Earth are all about putting indigenous people in control of their native lands, protecting them from logging corporations and helping them build better communities.

We are hoping to raise £1500 in total. Thank you so much for helping us to reach our goal.
