About the Adventure
We are Team Band of Brother in Laws which consists of Paul Doublet and Tony Scriven who, in July 08 will attempt to drive up to 10,000 miles from Jersey via London Hyde Park to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Our route will take us through Europe, Russia, the Altay mountains of Kazakhstan and the vast plains and deserts of Mongolia.
The journey will be undertaken in a 1000cc 1986 Daihatsu Charade which will hopefully withstand the rigours of travelling nearly one third of the way around the globe in a car which should really be on the scrapheap.
This rally isn’t just about adventure it’s also about raising as much cash as we can for our two designated charities, Mercy Corp and Hope and Homes for Children.
Mercy Corps alleviates suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities.
Hope and Homes for Children works in conjunction with overseas partners in Eastern Europe and Africa to provide a family and a future for orphaned or abandoned children.
So with this in mind we ask that you support us and donate as much as you can. Every little helps.
Thanks for your support.
Paul and Tony
