2009 Roof of the World Rally

3 strangers
6 weeks
25 countries
2 continents
Over 12,000 miles

This July sees the launch of the 2009 Roof of the World Charity Rally, departing from London with the destination being Kurgan-Tyube in Tajikistan.

Kernow Krew, a grouping of three strangers, two Brits and one American (me), will be teamed up, taking a route which passes through Europe, into Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan before entering Tajikistan.  Along the way with the mission to take a cup of tea to the world.  What’s a few deserts, some of the tallest mountains, and the second highest highway in the world to stop us.

After reaching the finish line, as all the other teams pack their bags and fly home, what do we do?  Well, our adventure is only half way over.  We turn around and head back, exploring new territory and more than doubling the number of countries visited.

The aim of the rally is to raise money and bring supplies to SWORDE-Teppa, a charity based in Kurgan-Tyube, Tajikistan–the poorest and one of the least known of all Asian countries.  We have accumulated over 15 boxes of much-needed children’s reading books and additionally are aiming to raise at least £500 for this charity.

SWORDE-Teppa runs a variety of programs within the community of Kurgan-Tyube which aim to reduce poverty, improve quality of life and increase the potential of the people it works with through education and sustainable development.
