The Rickshaw Run

Well, I don't know if I'd call the Rickshaw Run well organized so far, considering that we've had a chance to pay, have the money get returned to us, and pay again, slighlty more the second time, but I do think that we are officially registered now to drive a pair of three-wheeled monsters from Cochin, at the southern tip of the Indian sub-continent into the Himalayas, ending up in Kathmandu, Tibet! Team One - Safety Third: http://rickshawrun08w.theadventurists.com/index.php?mode=team&sub=display&name=Safety%20Third. Team Two - I'm not sure, Cyrus had Project RR initially, but I can't seem to find it now...

All we've got to do now is come up with about $2500 per team for charity (Mercy Corps, a Nepalese charity named Maiti Nepal, and a local Indian charity named Naandi) and if you're reading this, hey, you too can help: http://www.firstgiving.com/safety3rd. Oh, and plane tickets... plane tickets to Cochin, India are going to be complicated...

The website

This website is taking more effort to put together and maintain than it really ought to... Well, we now have a website, a blog (soon to be integrated into the website!) and a whole email account on the website... There's more stuff planned, I think...

Next step - charity funcraising site via firstgiving.com.

[Update] - charity page is up and running: http://www.firstgiving.com/safety3rd $5000 suddenly sounds like an awfully ambitious target - damn exchange rate!
