The Jersey Boys: Mongol Rally Intro

The Jersey Boys, known to you as Richard Rinaldi and Alex Insel, are about to embark on a great adventure spanning 10,000 miles through the bustling city streets of Western Europe to the great deserts of central Asia. Yes, we're crazy."The Mongol Rally" will start in London and end in the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Bataar with three-hundred other cars and their respective teams (if they make it). However, there are a few twists:-First, the entire rally must be completed in an underpowered car with a one-liter engine. Think of your neighbor's small two-door hatchback for an example. Now think of it driving through the deserts of Mongolia.-Second, each team must raise upwards of two thousand dollars for charity. The money goes toward Mercy Corp Mongolia, which aids needy families in rural Mongolia. Not only are we committed to fundraising the required charity fee, we are also committed to raise the most money ever from a team during The Mongol Rally! -And finally, there is no set route to get to Mongolia. In previous years, teams have gone up north to Scandinavia through Siberia to get to Mongolia or straight through Eastern Europe. We find this, The Mongol Rally one of the last adventures left to us in the ever-globalizing 21st century. This by no means will be an easy task to plan or complete. We need to fundraise the required charitable fee and then some. Money will be needed to pay for visas, plane tickets, fuel, and the car. However, we have full confidence that as college students we can scrounge up the necessary funds to cover the costs of the entire rally. Such a gargantuan task can only be accomplished through fund raising from our college campus communities, friends, family, local companies, and the kindness of random people. We are also fortunate enough to have the guidance from Scott Partenheimer, who completed the Mongol Rally in 2008. He will be an invaluable resource through out the planning process for us. Alright, this is where you come in. We need donations to cover the charity fee and other related rally cost (airfare, gas, food, etc.). The power is yours to get us from the suburbs of New Jersey, to the double0decker buses of London, past the Berlin Wall, through the former Soviet Union, and eventually to the Gobi desert of Mongolia.You can donate online through our Paypal Account or in person or by mail. If you don't have any extra money around, you can still help! Write a company on our behalf, have a yard sale, get out that metal detector and find us some spare change on the beach.Any donation is helpful. Only with your help can we get to Mongolia and raise a ton of money for Mongolia Mercy Corp.
