The Mongol Rally Guys

Scott recently wrote an article on the Mongol Rally for Matador Network, an web site geared toward travelers. Read his submission here.

Thanks to Dave, Chuck, and Lisa at The Morning X on 89X (88.7FM Detroit). They had me on the program this morning to discuss our participation in the Mongol Rally. Listen to the entire segment (in two parts) below.

We scored a great article in today’s Detroit News! Thanks very much to Detroit News writer Susan Pollack and photographer Brandy Baker for making this possible. Update: looks like the article is no longer available online unless you pay to see it. Try here for a copy of the article instead.

It’s getting down to the line now. We have only 97 days left until the start of the rally. There’s a lot left to do, and there is still much money to be raised.

We are, of course, always grateful for personal donations. Without all of you this wouldn’t be possible. What we are currently looking for are some businesses, local and otherwise, that would be willing to sponsor our team for a modest tax-deductible amount. In return for a sponsorship your company will receive press coverage as well as your logo and web site link on our site. Your logo on our rally car is also an option.

Sponsorship opportunities start as low as $300. If your company is interested please contact us. The application deadline is July 15th (but the earlier the better as far as publicity for your company goes!).

Hope everyone had a good Easter Sunday!

After communicating with a Rotary club in Ulaanbaatar for the past few weeks it seems as if we will be able to lend a hand in building a kindergarten some 430km south of the capital, by supplying the funds needed to purchase all outfitting materials!
