Welcome to Tom and Olly's summer adventure! You've probably already heard how wonderful this trip will be, now you can see for yourself!

This epic journey is part inspired by the Mongol Rally, a group of intrepids who 'race' to Mongolia in very small cars for the thrill of the challenge and to raise money for charity.

We are making our journey unique by not joining the rally and using a bigger car. We thought it would be good to support a Mongolian charity so half the money we raise will go to Mercy Corps Mongolia, which is one of the rally charities.

We are also raising money for a different charity, the Masiphumelele Youth Project in Cape Town. This charity was set up by Shake Seigel and his brother so has a personal tie to our medical school. (For anyone who doesn't know Shake he is a legendary member of the GEM staff!)

Please have a look and give what you can:

We will try and use this blog thing to keep you posted on how we get on. But who knows how we'll get on updating it where we're going...

We have currently raised £350 for the Ubuntu Foundation, and by donating the car expect to raise a few thousand pounds for the Kindergarten for cerebral palsy children in Ulaanbaatar. see goodbye susie for more. (6/9/07)

Want to drive to Mongolia too?

If your interested in following in our wheeltracks have at look at this:

These guys set up Charity Rallies to help people rally to Mongolia in their own time and give all the money they raise to charity. They put us in touch with Enkhbaatar who arranged the import and donation of our car once we got to Mongolia. This proved to be a crucial link when we reached the Mongolian border. Thanks very much for your help.

We tend to ignore this sort of thing, do we really care what happened in 'their day'.
The lavish beauty of a pink engagement ring will astound even the most discriminating admirer.

Like color, we can settle for impure diamonds because our
normal, human eyes won't be able to see them.

These watches are designed to be loud and attractive.
The hues range from subtle white or black to vibrant shades of red, orange, and
yellow. Another watch tipped by some fashionista's is the MK8160.
