<p><font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">On 28 March 2010,<strong>The Proctor Lupe Rickshaw Affiliate</strong> will pull up <br />their boots, strap on their driving goggles, and begin a two-week journey across the Indian subcontinent in a motorized, 3-wheeled rickshaw. <br />Known not for their acceleration, nor for their handling, nor for their <br />braking, nor for their safety features, rickshaws are the ideal means of <br />conveyance for those wishing to engage all their senses simultaneously. Beyond all this, you ask, why undertake such a trip? Because we want <br />to raise money for charitable organizations.</font></p><p><font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">The concept is simple: rickshaw teams from various corners of the globe gather in southern India to commence a race across the subcontinent. <br />This race is known as the Rickshaw Run. As with a walk-a-thon, we are seeking support for our team--although we will undoubtedly be walking <br />short distances to the tire repairman, most of the 3000 km journey will <br />be made on the aforementioned rickshaw. We will be&nbsp;navigating from <br />the southern coastal city of Kochi&nbsp;to the tiny Himalayan town of Gangtok, thousands of kilometers to the north. </font></p><p><font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">Our boots are spit-shined. Our medical insurance in pending. <br />Our route is undetermined.</font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="verdana,geneva">Whether we will make it is yet unknown.</font> </font></p>
