Mongolian Adventure
With 2 friends, Sam Godfrey of Edenbridge Accident Repair Centre in Kent is tackling the Mongol Rally in late July. The trip takes in 14 countries including most of Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. ‘All of this travelled in under 4 weeks in a clapped out and very tiny Suzuki van! Our adventure is all in aid of The Christina Noble Children’s Fund www.cncf.org and we are hoping to raise as much as we possibly can to help out this fantastic cause’.
The adventurous trio are offering advertising space on their van in return for contributions to their cause. ‘We will be using the van in the local area up until we go, travelling 11,000 miles in it and donating it to the charity when we arrive in Mongolia so any advertising is likely to be seen by millions!’.
Can you help? Give Sam a call on 01732 866908 or email: sam@earc.co.uk
He also has an online donation page: www.justgiving.com/Sam-Godfrey
