New blog (Live Event)

We have decided to post a new blog, which I have put a link below to cover the event whilst we are in India.

We hope to post text, photos and some video depending on connection to the www. Its now only three weeks to go now and all of the preparation in the last few months has now been done and everything is in place.

We do hope that you will follow our endeavours whilst we travel aorund the mountains and hills of Southern India.

George and I have now been fully vacinated for everything imaginable! Visa'a are done so we only have a few things to do before setting off to Heathrow to start our journey.
We start by flying to Columbo in Sri Lanka and the north to Goa, were we will aclimatise and get used to our new form of transport, the Ambi!!!
Again, thanks to ALL of our sponsors for helping us raise so much for these two charities, well done to you all.

It’s not everyday that you’re relaxing at home reading the Sunday Times, and within a few minutes you’ve taken the decision to travel to the other side of the world and drive a 1950’s style car 2,000 km through ancient tribal forests, wild tiger reserves, hectic cities and the hot arid plains of India.
But that is exactly what happened when we spotted an advert in the Sunday Times motoring section! As a direct result, we will be joining a large team of people from all over the world to take part in the ‘Karma Enduro’ - and play a key role in raising at least £150,000 for good causes.

This includes jointly supporting some of the most vulnerable people in the UK and India, with donations being shared between the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity and Adventure Ashram.

Whilst the event does not take place until October 2008, we are committed to raising at least £8,495 in order to take part, of which a minimum of £2,450 will go to the two charities. Both of us have already pledged personally to cover a large percentage of this target, but we would like to raise significantly more than this to ensure maximum benefit to these two good causes.

At this stage, we would like to ask for your support in helping us meet the challenge, and would welcome any corporate or personal donation that you feel you might be able to make.

We are looking to complete the majority of our fundraising by the end of February 2008, and so we would greatly appreciate any commitment you might be able to make.

We also have a limited number of sponsorship slots available on the car (bonnet, doors & boot etc), and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss attributing one of more of those with you.

There is a wealth of information about the Karma Enduro online, but if you have any questions, then please don’t hesitate to give either of us a call.

We look forward to recieving your donations by either clicking on the "Make A Donation" link below, or if you wish to make a pledge please send either of us an email and we will return a pledge form.

With kind regards

Steve & George
