From the Team:
"The Mongolia Charity Rally is organised by the charity Go Help and all proceeds from the rally go to helping people in Mongolia.
We will be raising money for Save the Children in Mongolia and Marie Curie Cancer Care in this country. They are both fantastic causes so please donate generously. Our journey will take us across 10 countries, covering around 10,000 miles before reaching the destination of Ulaanbaatar about a month after departure.
Our route is taking us from Sheffield across the channel into France, south into Italy and then east into Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania and then Ukraine. We then enter Russia and head for Volgograd. The next country is Kazakhstan and we will aim for Almaty, the former capital. After Kazakhstan, we head back into Russia before entering our final country, Mongolia. For most of the journey we will be driving on dirt roads in a two wheel drive van laden with kit. Once on the road, we will be sending live updates to the rally website, which has a link at the top of the page so you can track our progress. We can't wait to take on this massive challenge but we really need your support so please get in touch or donate to one of the charities."
