On Saturday, the 19th of July 2008 a group of three young professionals took part in the Mongol Rally, a unique driving challenge from
London to Ulaan Batar, the Mongolian capital. The rally is exclusive because the
participants must drive relatively low-power vehicles from start to finish, without
the use of any mod-cons... a few maps, and a car stereo did the trick! See the video below for a brief summary of what happened:
Stella Performa chose the
following route for the 10,000 mile journey!
The chosen vehicle was a 1996 Nissan
Micra 1.0:
Through the
challenge, the group raised over £1300 for charity, towards
Mercy Corps.
Mercy Corps is a leading
international relief and development organisation working amid disasters, conflicts,
chronic poverty and instability throughout the world. It is their mission to unleash
the potential of people and enable them to win against impossible odds. Since 1979,
Mercy Corps has provided over £650 million in assistance to people in 100
nations. For more information, please go to www.mercycorps.org.
