The Mongolia Charity Rally
We’re very community conscious and actively participate in donating to local and international organisations annually.
In 2017 Mike was one of the members of the Kiwinomads team who set off on a huge adventure, driving from Brussels to Mongolia with the Mongolian Charity Rally. They donated two vehicles (including an ambulance) to the ‘GO Help’ charity, donated a defibrillator to the Mongolian Hospital and also donated over $9,500 to New Zealand Prostrate Cancer.
In case you don’t know, The Mongolia Charity Rally is an epic 15,000km charity roadtrip half-way across the world, over mountains, across deserts, tough rivers, and around pot-holes. By getting off-road, it challenges participants to step well outside their comfort zones all while helping those in need. Starting in the United Kingdom and ending in Mongolia, you couldn’t ask for a bigger ‘bucket-list’ experience. Watch the video below to see more of this incredible adventure.
