WHAT ARE WE DOING EXACTLY?

This April, we will be participating in a 1700 mile race called The Rickshaw Run across all of North India. The purpose of this crazy adventure is to raise funds for charity, and we've chosen to support Harvest India and Cool Earth. We'll be driving an Auto Rickshaw (which is really a 7 horsepower glorified lawnmower) for 10-12 days on this 3,500km pan-Indian adventure.

There is no set route, no back-up, and no way of knowing if we're going to make it. The only certainty is that we will get lost, we will break down and we will have quite the adventure!

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

This is where you come in! We are shooting to raise $50,000 for Harvest India & Cool Earth and the incredible work that they are doing. Here is what they're up to:

Harvest India is an Indian-based NGO [non-government organization] that seeks to serve the lowest of the low, often referred to as the 'Dalit' people of India, through meeting real tangible needs. They help the poorest of the poor by providing education, housing, food, and medical care for orphans, lepers, human trafficking victims, and the elderly. Your support will help them meet the needs of the many people that are unwanted and uncared for.

Cool Earth is working to put indigenous people back in control of the world’s most endangered rainforests. Cool Earth is now working alongside 113 rainforest villages throughout the world, and these partner villages are protecting over 500,000 acres of forest that lie directly in the path of chainsaws and bulldozers. With this support, Cool Earth can put in place the simple steps that change the fate of at-risk rainforest and the lives of our indigenous partners.

WHO WE ARE:
