Hi all. I hope you do not mind me posting this.
In 2010, I finished my 3rd charity rally with my friend Adam, driving from England to Morocco and then back to English having navigated over 2000 miles of the Sahara desert in Morocco. Prior to that we have been to the Sahara in Algeria and back and also drove all the way to Mongolia. With all the fund raising support we've received to date, we've managed to raise over £4,000 for the Mercy Corps, a charity that we really believe in. This would never have been possible without support from friends, family and clubs such as this hence my request for your support. Even if it just get the charities name in a few peoples heads would be good by me to raise awareness
We're now preparing for our fourth charity rally, which will once again see us head to Morocco, but then head further south into the less explored Western Sahara territory. We're expecting to cover almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) in about 2 weeks in our now 49 year old car!! Our launch date is the 23rd June 2012, and once again we really hope you can sponsor us by donating whatever you can afford to the Mercy Corps. You can donate online via our dedicated fund raising web site at Rusty Rhinos is fundraising for Mercy Corps
Our challenge, will include navigating some of our previous route where we snapped the chassis on our car, nearly lost our car to the sea (as the tide came in rapidly) and buried the car in sinking flamingo poo. Temperatures in the parts of the Sahara we're going to can reach as high as 50c that time of year! We will spend the vast majority of our time camping in the wild somewhere in the desert.
The Mercy Corps are a charity that works in many different ways all around the world to help those in urgent need of support. Their work varies significantly, but some of the work that the Mercy Corps undertakes includes providing child protection, emergency response, food security and disaster risk reduction to name but a few of the Mercy Corps' programmes. You can read more about the Mercy Corps' programme at Mercy Corps | Be the Change
If you prefer to donate in any other way, please let me know and we can arrange for other forms of donations. We're hoping to raise at least £500, although we'd be thrilled to exceed that.
You can follow our rally preparation progress on our website at http://www.rustyrhinos.com and we now also have a Twitter feed that you can follow Twitter
Thanks for taking the time to read this email and any donation that you can afford will be greatly appreciated by both the Mercy Corps and me

Adam and Alex aka "The Rusty Rhinos"
