To ride a three-wheeled, 145cc, accident-waiting-to-happen rickshaw (aka Dragon) from the top to the bottom of India. Along the way, the Ladies will have to overcome some fantastical challenges: moon-crater-sized potholes, death-wish truck drivers and holy cows determined to destroy their karma. </font></p><p><font size="3">They will also have to navigate the maze of teeming, clogged urban jungles where any way is the right way and survive bed-bug infested inns and public toilets where even the devil does not linger. <br /></font></p> <p><br /><font size="3">Mounted in splendor on their steel-winged chariot of fire, the Dragon Ladies will depart from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan on 1 January 2013 and will cross rivers and valleys to reach Kochi in Kerala by 14 January 2013.</font></p><p> </p> <p><img align="right" height="225" src="images/gallery09/9305/73406/400x400.jpeg" width="301" /></p> <p align="left"><font size="3"> The thrill of adventure in their blood, desert storms and monsoon rains will not deter the Dragon Ladies as they seek to live life to the full and create new legends in an ancient land. </font></p><p align="left"> </p><div align="left"> </div><p align="left"><font size="3">Their cause is pure - the dream of safe drinking water for all - so please help them in their quest.
