Charity Announcement

It's taken just a little longer to sort things than I hinted at the other week, but as you will no doubt see from the changes to the site, we are proud to announce that we are doing the ride in aid of:
Some of you may remember seeing these guys on Top Gear last year running a rally car for, and maintained by, disabled servicemen. At this time Phil and I were starting to discuss the idea of doing a ride like this and this organisation seemed to be the perfect fit.

Money raised will go towards supporting the Reskill Academy project, setting up a purpose built site where injured service personnel could learn useful skills maintaining and adapting off-road vehicles, as part of their structured rehabilitation programme.

The vehicles can then be used for Project Overland : providing fully tailored off-road safaris for those injured or disabled.

Project Mobility's third stream is the plan to enter a fully disabled rally team in the gruelling Dakar rally (Project staff and vehicles have recently supported rally car builder Bowler in the Tuareg Rally in North Africa)

If you wish make a donation in support of us on the ride and help a very deserving cause. please use the button on the right or go to our CharityGiving page and give what you can.

All monies donated are eligable for gift aid (for UK taxpayers) and will go to the charity

We are funding the logistics of the ride ourselves, along with the wonderfully generous offer of a Project support vehicle and drivers to back us up on the ride.

Thank you.
