Team Mates Wanted For Mongolian Ambulance Adventure
On the 24th July 2010 Ben Burrows will be driving an Ex-NHS Ambulance from Goodwood in Hampshire to Ulan Bataar in Mongolia. He is looking for team mates to join him.
Along with around 400 other teams Ben will be donating the vehicle to charity and flying back to the UK. The purpose of the rally is to raise funds for Mongolian charities and enjoy a brilliant adventure at the same time.
Under the rules of the rally Ben must raise at least £1000 for Mercy Corps in Mongolia, but he also hope to raise £5000 for Cancer Research. There is no set route, no back up or support. The whole idea of the rally is to get yourself out of any difficulties you encounter on route! Most teams will be taking a small 1 litre engined car – as per the rules of the rally - Ben’s taking a 3.5 litre ambulance under the exception rule “teams may chose to take an emergency vehicle – fire engine, ambulance, etc provided it is operational and in good condition”
Ben’s route involves going through France, Germany, Czech republic, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia, roughly 10,000 miles and will take 5-6 weeks to complete. Due to his two current team mates having work and family committments Ben is now looking for new team mates.
If you are interested firstly have a look at Ben’s website – www.themongolancecrew.com and if that doesn’t scare you away drop him an email themongolancecrew {at} hotmail(.)com
Alternatively if you can’t go with him on the rally, but wish to show your support please sponsor him a couple of quid towards his charities using the Just Giving link on his website.
