Subject: Tally Ho! off we go; because living matters...
Hi dear #do family and friends, In acknowledgement of mental health awareness week Edward and I have launched fund raising for our Rickshaw Run Jaisalmer - Shillong India April 2015. To get kick-started, Cool Earth and Give A Little - the fund raising platform for the Live More Awesome Foundation need to know we are for real. Our #rickshaw run NZ beneficiary is the Live More Awesome Foundation, they help people deal with depression. In addition we support Cool Earth the event organisation benefiting from The Adventurists rickshaw run. Our goal with #coolearth is to save 14.3 acres of rain forest for the Awajun tribe in Peru. Please consider making a donation now on these links: http://givealittle.co.nz/donate/fundraiser/rickshawrun2015 100% of your donation through this link goes to Live More Awesome. http://www.coolearth.org/460/rickshaw-run-goodbye-curry-pie Saves forest for the Awajun, you can check out the map for our forest on the link. We personally pay all costs associated with this epic journey as we travel across India in a pimped up auto rickshaw in a matter of days. Any donations go entirely to these two great causes, we hope to generate awareness for them and support. In stage 1 in January 2014 we made it from the North of India, close to the Pakistani border all the way to Kerala in the South 3006 kms in two weeks. This time we travel West to East - Jaisalmer to Shillong; a similar distance… in less than 11 days. We depart NZ on April 1st… No fools here! That gives us just enough time to travel by plane, train, car, foot and maybe camel to the start line ready for 70 odd teams to depart on the 6th of April. From there we may not see many of them again. The run as always is unsupported and unrouted. It's a case of horn, brakes and good luck. And doing whatever it takes to #domore #bemore. It's hot dam hot in Rajasthan , there are likely to be bandits and detours …possibly through Nepal just to keep it all #mysterious. Shillong where we finish is the wettest place on the planet #lovely…we need to be tucked up in bed there by the 18th of April, home again in the Arrow less than 48 hours later. This is about making every moment count. Live More Awesome our chosen charity increase mental wellness. reduce stress and inspire people to #domore #bemore with inspiring initiatives, because living matters. Our fund raising page is under moderation. When we have three donations it will be fully accredited and able to be found in the Give A Little public category searches. This will widen our audience for support of this great organisation as they aim to improve mental well-being for New Zealanders. Givealittle requires the first 3 donations to a page as evidence of independent endorsement of trust and confidence in our fundraising activities, your donation would indicate that we support a valid cause and have integrity towards completion of this event. And that we are not scammers from Arrowtown or somewhere in India. Our 2014 Rickshaw Run from North to South; raised $2460.00 for Live More Awesome and 936 GBP for Cool Earth ( yep I can't find the symbol for that on my key board ). We realise that epic journeys inspire epic things. Setting a big audacious goal like this to start the year is inspirational. We would like to thank That's Life magazine for calling to interview us and their contribution pledge of $600.00 to this cause, with your help this total will grow to support more kiwi's to realise their happy potential. We would like to thank sponsors Aotea Souvenir's Queenstown, Avoca, Sugru, Campbell Irvine Insurance, Rationale and DO for their support and gifts to share on the journey. And our darling kids Chali, Sophie and Phoebe for understanding that next school holidays will be without us once again. Thanks in advance for contributions support and for sharing the news of our journey. We hope you enjoy following the Rickshaw Run.
