The Social Media Syndicate has teamed up with Intrepid Travel to raffle off a ‘trip of a lifetime’ to an exotic location. The fund raising raffle will be held from June 6th to 12th, with the winner being randomly drawn and notified the following week. Money raised will go towards the Syndicate’s attempted 10,000 mile drive from London, England to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, raising funds for the international children’s aid organization, the Christina Noble Foundation. At the end of the rally the car will be donated to a local charity.
How many miles??
As part of their commitment to protecting the environment, Intrepid Travel will be providing carbon offsets for the fuel of the car.“We’re eager to follow the journey from London to Mongolia and very happy to play a role in assisting in the fundraising efforts in an environmentally friendly way and what an experience this will be – exploring a road much less travelled!”
The Mongol Rally is an unscripted adventure from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Since 2004,over £1.5 million (USD $2.47 million) has been raised for charity by the Mongol Rally. Each team is asked to raise a minimum £1000 (USD $1,650) for charity at least £500 (USD$ 825) of which goes to the official Rally charity, the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation. This money will make a massive difference to the lives of some of the poorest people in Mongolia.
