    Cornwall to Mongolia in a Micra? Let's rock.

    Hi everyone. We need your support!

    In July 2013, a 3 man team from the Royal Navy will undertake the 10,000 mile Mongol Rally in order to raise money for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines charity. Starting at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in Cornwall and ending at Ulan Baator the capital city of Mongolia. Our vehicle of choice? A Nissan Micra.

    Crossing rivers, ravines, mountain ranges, deserts and no less than fifteen national borders, the Mongol Rally is unforgiving, dangerous and unpredictable. And yes, we did say Nissan Micra.

    The team are hoping that fundraising efforts will equate to “a pound per mile”. Resulting in over £10,000 being raised for the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC). The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity exists to support serving and former serving Naval Service personnel and their families who are in need, suffering hardship or in distress. This is achieved through grants to the Naval charities which provide through-life care to those whose service might be long behind them .

    If you can't afford to donate, it's equally important to us to have your support. If you are on Facebook, please, please like our page as that shows potential sponsors that this piques people's interest and encourages them to help us out.

    Thanks folks, it's a long road we've embarked on (see what we did there) but we think we can reach our targets, but only with your help.

    Edited to remember links!

    Thankyou all for your magnificent support thus far, we are already just £29 away from the first milestone of £1000! Our own dedicated website goes live very soon and we would love to have that first £1000 in the coffers by then.

    Please, please donate a bit of spare change if you can afford it, if not then your support is equally as valuable to us and you can like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, it all helps our cause.

    Remember, donations of £20 or more and you can have your name or a name of your choice on our rally car!

    Thankyou again. X
