Rickshaw Run August 2015

Story

 

 
 

 

 

Hi there!

My good friend, Lynton Dellar, and I are making a difference to the heart health of Australians by undertaking a challenge for a cause that's close to our hearts.

 

We both lost our Dads to heart disease, so we are very passionate about helping to improve heart health.

 

The Rickshaw Run challenges us to drive an auto rickshaw (aka glorified lawnmower!), from Shillong (NE India) to Kochi (SW India) - a distance of 3600 kms in around 16 days! Too easy..........or is it??!!

 

Check out the video above to give you an idea what's in store for us!

 

A very important point, we should mention – Lynton and I are both carrying all our own costs - around $4,000 each to take part. 

 

Your financial support, therefore, will all be directed to the Heart Foundation.

 

We’d really appreciate any contribution, big or small, in support of the Heart Foundation - as well of lots of encouragement to complete this crazy adventure!

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Heart Foundation.


Thanks so much for your support, and follow our blog each day/every 2,3,4 days...depending on access to Indian internet!...when we get underway on August 4, 2015.
