The Challenge

 Hello and welcome to our fundraising site. In November 2009, Imogen Murphy and Caroline Malone will be the sole Irish team taking part in a 14 day charity car rally through Southern India to raise money for two fantastic children’s charities, Unicef and Rainbow Trust.

The challenge is to complete a gruelling route of 2000km, driving 12 hours a day, over mountains, across hot arid plains, through dense forest trails and into hectic towns taking in some of the most demanding terrain in the region.

To make things more interesting, we won't exactly be using state of the art machinery. The car of choice is the infamous Hindustan Ambassador.  The Indian manufactured vehicle is based on the 1956 Mk 3 Morris Oxford and the shape of the Ambassador body has barely changed in 50 years. See what our journey will be like here.

Our Aim

We are taking part in the Karma Enduro rally in order to raise a minimum of €12,500 in sponsorship both through our own efforts and hopefully the donations of others.

Karma Enduro provides desperately-needed funds to Unicef and The Rainbow Trust. One fifth of the world’s children live in India and Unicef funds programmes to ensure that these children have the best possible start in life. The Rainbow Trust provides a special service to families back home that have a child suffering from a terminal illness. Previous Enduro events have raised at least £300,000, helping to build schools in India and provide respite care for families with terminally ill children.

To reach our pledge, and give direct aid to needy children, we need your help now.
