The Mongolia Charity Rally is an epic 10,000 mile trans-continental road trip across numerous mountain ranges, deserts and other inhospitable lands all in the name of bringing urgent medical care to the people of Mongolia. The journey starts in London with its final destination in the ancient Mongol capital of Ulaanbaatar. This year, four of our students will take on this epic journey. However, before they can get on the road they need to raise the funds for their project.
Callum Livingstone, George Tuckey, Oli Hampden-Martin and William Sexton (pictured above) have taken on the ambitious task to raise £7,000 with the help of the University’s crowdfunding platform which will enable them to purchase, repair and transport a 4×4 ambulance to their intended destination. Through participating in the project, inspired by Go Help Charity Rallies, the team will use the skills they’ve obtained throughout their Engineering degree at Southampton to experience the journey of a lifetime while also helping the people of Mongolia to get the care they need.
So far Callum, George, Oli and Will have raised over £5,500 through the numerous donations they’ve received from their families, friends and their fellow students at the University.
