This August Tim, Johnny and Guy are attempting to drive 3500km across India, from Shillong in the north-east, to Kochi in the south-west. We will be trying to do the journey in a battered old auto-rickshaw, and all in the space of 2 weeks.
We are aiming to raise £2000 for 2 charities, Cool Earth (http://www.coolearth.org/) who work along side indigenous people of the Amazon and Congo Basin rainforests to halt rainforest destruction - and Pratham UK (http://www.pratham.org.uk/) a secular and non-governmental UNICEF seeded children's charity working to provide quality education to underprivileged children in rural and urban India.
Any donations that will help towards our fundraising goal will be really appreciated, and every penny you donate will go straight to helping both Pratham UK and Cool Earth continue their great work.

Through its Read India campaign which began in in 2008, Pratham has now reached over 35 million children in 22 Indian states. Pratham is a grassroots based NGO and works with young people, village communities, governments, corporates and volunteers to provide a model that is economic, scalable and does not replicate government infrastructure. Pratham’s development interventions include improving literacy and arithmetic at primary and secondary level, protecting vulnerable children from child labour and providing greater opportunities to return to school for young women.
Majestic Athleic EU
Majestic Athletic has come a long way from it’s initial conception in 1976. What started life as a knitwear company producing baseball jersey’s for local college teams in Tampa, has now become a multi- million dollar global brand, supplying customers all over the world. Many brands offer Varsity and American Retro fashion, but we do it with credibility and authenticity. We have earned the authentic Major League Baseball rights, and the addition of the National Football League and National Hockey League, further enhance our brand. Our clothes are a combination of heritage and contemporary street-wear focusing on the best-known teams with the most commercial fabrication and styling. Our Official On-Field MLB Jersey range is unique, still handmade by the same factory in Tampa with the team that have grown up making Majestic sports wear.
