Charity Rallies Charity Rallies is the fundraising arm of Go Help and supports Go Helprsquos mission to promote charitable adventuring Under this umbrella Go Help currently runs three rallies the Mongolia Charity Rally from London to Ulaanbaatar Mongolia the Roof of the World Charity Rally from London to Dushanbe Tajikistan and the MesoAmerica Charity Rally from San Diego to Siguatepeque Honduras Each of these works with different projects in the destination country all within the fields of healthcare and education

The MesoAmerica Charity Rally the newest of the Charity Rallies recently ran a successful test run that saw two US ambulances donated to Siguatepeque and Comayagua in Honduras These ambulances have since been put into active practice and have seen the fruits of the labors of the ralliers The progress and use of the ambulances is regularly monitored by Go Help volunteers The relationships built during this test run were positive and long-lasting and this Rally is now successfully running much-needed ambulances to Hondurasrsquo second largest city

The Roof of the World Charity Rally was started by former ralliers Following their visit they fell in love with Tajikistan and were moved by the difference that a little support can make in this country Go Help then assisted these volunteers in setting up the rally which treks some of the most dangerous high altitude roads in Asia On the ground in Tajikistan Go Help employs a small office that helps the ralliers with vehicle donation paperwork and administration as well as monitoring and reviewing relationships and charity projects in the country

Go Helprsquos flagship rally the Mongolia Charity Rally has been running since 2007 With an established office in Ulaanbaatar a dedicated team with contacts to the Mongolian Government as well as a host of successful partnerships with local projects the Mongolia Charity Rally pulls in over 50 teams a year Starting with the ambulance project the rally now runs all manner of vehicles across the 10000 miles of inhospitable terrain to be donated to charities or sold for charitable profit

The event itselfSan Diego-Siguatepeque

The MesoAmerica Charity Rally is our newest and shiniest rally It runs from San Diego USA across the Aztec and Mayan homelands of Mexico the beautiful mountainous regions of Guatemala to the coffee heavens of Siguatepeque Honduras However if a team is determined to start elsewhere we as a charity do our best to help them out

The specific route the team takes is entirely up to them Herersquos where the imagination can really go into overdrive Once wersquove helped a team register and finalize the paperwork for their chosen vehicle itrsquos time to chart the route and grab that place on the starting grid on the sunny beaches of San Diego

As you build out your route you can add more countries exciting stops and incredible sites depending on your time and sense of adventure

Along the way you can pitch your tent on a beach campsite stay in a historic adobe house or sleep in an eco-lodge cabin in the mangroves of a Guatemalan lake You can couch surf from start to finish or hostel-hop through the Yucatan What you drive and where you stay depends on what you want your adventure to consist of

And why not pack it full with school supplies childrenrsquos clothes or a fully functional MRI to donate at the end Do you really need the extra space

6

During your adventure you will be tasked with different missions which will pit team against team Your creativity and unique approach to each mission determines your ultimate score and the rally champion There can only victor but with this adventure combined with an amazing charity every team wins

So what is the experience going to be The full Mexican coastal route through Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco Or would you rather hit the some of the biggest cities in the world and drive through Guadalajara and Mexico City Or why not visit the Mayan ruins of Monte Alban on the outskirts of Oaxaca

And once yoursquove crossed the border into the incredible mountains of Guatemala will you choose the southern view of Lake Atitlan and up through the historic peaceful Antigua or will it be the northern route taking in Quetzaltenango and the incredible hikes of northern Guatemala Central America really is your oyster and if you can take the time to cross into Belize on your route too then by all means do so

Without too many detours the average rally takes about four weeks but this is where the imagination can be the guide there are no rules on this one You can take as long as you want exploring every corner of Central America or take the most direct route if you are stuck for time

And whatrsquos it all for Good question We work with and fundraise for Growerrsquos First an organization that works closely with rural farming families in the mountains of southern Mexico and Central America to enhance their livelihood assisting them in becoming productive contributors to society and of course producing high quality coffee beans They have several bases throughout Central America so we encourage you to stop in if yoursquore in the right area

The 2014 MesoAmerica Charity Rally kicks off next summer in San Diego on July 5 Wersquoll be hosting a launch party at the starting line

Bringing home the baconFundraising is an integral part of the deal While the entry fee goes a long way to supporting the operating expenses for organizing the rally Go Help relies largely on fundraising from the teams to support the partner projects in Honduras Whether it is friends donating per mile or family chipping in per day or better still high flying contacts emptying their pockets in bulk all we ask is that the first $1000 raised goes to Go Help and in turn to the local efforts wersquore involved in with Growerrsquos First

Any sum raised above that $1000 threshold is free to be donated as wished While many people choose to leave it with us to beef up the pot for Honduras some prefer to take this surplus and donate it to a charity of their choice or indeed to several worthy causes This is entirely up to the teams and wersquore happy to help either way We also encourage teams to gather supplies and equipment to enhance the work of Growerrsquos First Examples are new or used medical equipment such as x-ray machines or dental equipment or school supplies such as paper pens books and the like Teams on other rallies have even been creative in bringing bouncy castles mascot costumes and recreational sports equipment

In addition to fundraising for the charity many of our teams like to get themselves sponsorships which rather than going to charity goes towards helping to cover the costs of the vehicle the expenses etc Itrsquos very important when setting out to raise money be it fundraising or sponsorship that it be made very clear to which of these the donors are contributing Not only do we give a load of money that you raise to charitable projects we also make sure that the vehicles that you drive are donated to the best possible places once they arrive in Honduras Thatrsquos why itrsquos important for you to choose with our help the right vehicle before you set off

Get some WHEELS Any type of vehicle can be driven to Honduras and we at Go Help do our best to help teams make the right choices avoid the heavy burden of tax import duties and get all the paperwork right first time

There are however a few important things to know making the ultimate rally vehicle purchase Our team is always on hand to help further but the key elements to bear in mind when choosing the right wheels are as follows

bullenspAll vehicles taking part in the MesoAmerica Charity Rally must be pre-approved through the charity rallies organizers

bullenspOnly vehicles useful to the people of Central America should be driven as these will be donated on arrival

Other than that go by car Go by truck Go by motorcycle Or even better bring an ambulance a firetruck or a bus And then leave them at the finish line to benefit the people of Central America

The inaugural team delivered two donated ambulances to hospitals in Honduras Only a few months later photos of one of the ambulances were seen world-wide as it was key in the rescue efforts of first responders of a tragic fire in the city of Comayagua You too can make a difference while having the adventure of a lifetime

How can you fundraise and raise sponsorshipbullenspStart with family and friends

bullenspPropose a donation scheme per 100 miles or per day

bullenspApproach corporations for large scale sponsorship

bullenspStart a fundraising webpage

bullenspHold a golf tournament a happy hour a poker tournament or a silent auction

bullenspUtilize all social media

Most of our teams have no problem with fundraising after all they have an awesome cause and an epic event to run with

Our charitable activities are largely in the fields of Healthcare and Education

Go Helprsquos core objectives include bullenspTo promote charitable adventuring

bullenspTo enable access to primary healthcare through the provision distribution and maintenance of emergency vehicles

bullenspTo foster local talent through providing scholarships and employment opportunities for young people

bullenspTo support education projects which provide opportunities for literacy and self-improvement and

bullenspTo facilitate the placement of skilled health and education volunteers with the aim of enhancing the capacity of local communities

Go Help is staffed almost solely by volunteers and most are past ralliers As part of Go Help enterprising ralliers have pioneered and trialled a number of other projects in recent years including an ambulance to Nepal and tuk-tuks through the Cambodian jungles There are always new and great ideas in the pipeline We rely on our volunteers to help us thrive so if yoursquove got an idea for an awesome rally or youacuted like to get involved drop us a line

Charity Rallies Charity Rallies is the fundraising arm of Go Help and supports Go Helprsquos mission to promote charitable adventuring Under this umbrella Go Help currently runs three rallies the Mongolia Charity Rally from London to Ulaanbaatar Mongolia the Roof of the World Charity Rally from London to Dushanbe Tajikistan and the MesoAmerica Charity Rally from San Diego to Siguatepeque Honduras Each of these works with different projects in the destination country all within the fields of healthcare and education

The MesoAmerica Charity Rally the newest of the Charity Rallies recently ran a successful test run that saw two US ambulances donated to Siguatepeque and Comayagua in Honduras These ambulances have since been put into active practice and have seen the fruits of the labors of the ralliers The progress and use of the ambulances is regularly monitored by Go Help volunteers The relationships built during this test run were positive and long-lasting and this Rally is now successfully running much-needed ambulances to Hondurasrsquo second largest city

The Roof of the World Charity Rally was started by former ralliers Following their visit they fell in love with Tajikistan and were moved by the difference that a little support can make in this country Go Help then assisted these volunteers in setting up the rally which treks some of the most dangerous high altitude roads in Asia On the ground in Tajikistan Go Help employs a small office that helps the ralliers with vehicle donation paperwork and administration as well as monitoring and reviewing relationships and charity projects in the country

Go Helprsquos flagship rally the Mongolia Charity Rally has been running since 2007 With an established office in Ulaanbaatar a dedicated team with contacts to the Mongolian Government as well as a host of successful partnerships with local projects the Mongolia Charity Rally pulls in over 50 teams a year Starting with the ambulance project the rally now runs all manner of vehicles across the 10000 miles of inhospitable terrain to be donated to charities or sold for charitable profit

The event itselfSan Diego-Siguatepeque

The MesoAmerica Charity Rally is our newest and shiniest rally It runs from San Diego USA across the Aztec and Mayan homelands of Mexico the beautiful mountainous regions of Guatemala to the coffee heavens of Siguatepeque Honduras However if a team is determined to start elsewhere we as a charity do our best to help them out

The specific route the team takes is entirely up to them Herersquos where the imagination can really go into overdrive Once wersquove helped a team register and finalize the paperwork for their chosen vehicle itrsquos time to chart the route and grab that place on the starting grid on the sunny beaches of San Diego

As you build out your route you can add more countries exciting stops and incredible sites depending on your time and sense of adventure

Along the way you can pitch your tent on a beach campsite stay in a historic adobe house or sleep in an eco-lodge cabin in the mangroves of a Guatemalan lake You can couch surf from start to finish or hostel-hop through the Yucatan What you drive and where you stay depends on what you want your adventure to consist of

And why not pack it full with school supplies childrenrsquos clothes or a fully functional MRI to donate at the end Do you really need the extra space

6

During your adventure you will be tasked with different missions which will pit team against team Your creativity and unique approach to each mission determines your ultimate score and the rally champion There can only victor but with this adventure combined with an amazing charity every team wins

So what is the experience going to be The full Mexican coastal route through Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco Or would you rather hit the some of the biggest cities in the world and drive through Guadalajara and Mexico City Or why not visit the Mayan ruins of Monte Alban on the outskirts of Oaxaca

And once yoursquove crossed the border into the incredible mountains of Guatemala will you choose the southern view of Lake Atitlan and up through the historic peaceful Antigua or will it be the northern route taking in Quetzaltenango and the incredible hikes of northern Guatemala Central America really is your oyster and if you can take the time to cross into Belize on your route too then by all means do so

Without too many detours the average rally takes about four weeks but this is where the imagination can be the guide there are no rules on this one You can take as long as you want exploring every corner of Central America or take the most direct route if you are stuck for time

And whatrsquos it all for Good question We work with and fundraise for Growerrsquos First an organization that works closely with rural farming families in the mountains of southern Mexico and Central America to enhance their livelihood assisting them in becoming productive contributors to society and of course producing high quality coffee beans They have several bases throughout Central America so we encourage you to stop in if yoursquore in the right area

The 2014 MesoAmerica Charity Rally kicks off next summer in San Diego on July 5 Wersquoll be hosting a launch party at the starting line

Bringing home the baconFundraising is an integral part of the deal While the entry fee goes a long way to supporting the operating expenses for organizing the rally Go Help relies largely on fundraising from the teams to support the partner projects in Honduras Whether it is friends donating per mile or family chipping in per day or better still high flying contacts emptying their pockets in bulk all we ask is that the first $1000 raised goes to Go Help and in turn to the local efforts wersquore involved in with Growerrsquos First

Any sum raised above that $1000 threshold is free to be donated as wished While many people choose to leave it with us to beef up the pot for Honduras some prefer to take this surplus and donate it to a charity of their choice or indeed to several worthy causes This is entirely up to the teams and wersquore happy to help either way We also encourage teams to gather supplies and equipment to enhance the work of Growerrsquos First Examples are new or used medical equipment such as x-ray machines or dental equipment or school supplies such as paper pens books and the like Teams on other rallies have even been creative in bringing bouncy castles mascot costumes and recreational sports equipment

In addition to fundraising for the charity many of our teams like to get themselves sponsorships which rather than going to charity goes towards helping to cover the costs of the vehicle the expenses etc Itrsquos very important when setting out to raise money be it fundraising or sponsorship that it be made very clear to which of these the donors are contributing Not only do we give a load of money that you raise to charitable projects we also make sure that the vehicles that you drive are donated to the best possible places once they arrive in Honduras Thatrsquos why itrsquos important for you to choose with our help the right vehicle before you set off

Get some WHEELS Any type of vehicle can be driven to Honduras and we at Go Help do our best to help teams make the right choices avoid the heavy burden of tax import duties and get all the paperwork right first time

There are however a few important things to know making the ultimate rally vehicle purchase Our team is always on hand to help further but the key elements to bear in mind when choosing the right wheels are as follows

bullenspAll vehicles taking part in the MesoAmerica Charity Rally must be pre-approved through the charity rallies organizers

bullenspOnly vehicles useful to the people of Central America should be driven as these will be donated on arrival

Other than that go by car Go by truck Go by motorcycle Or even better bring an ambulance a firetruck or a bus And then leave them at the finish line to benefit the people of Central America

The inaugural team delivered two donated ambulances to hospitals in Honduras Only a few months later photos of one of the ambulances were seen world-wide as it was key in the rescue efforts of first responders of a tragic fire in the city of Comayagua You too can make a difference while having the adventure of a lifetime

How can you fundraise and raise sponsorshipbullenspStart with family and friends

bullenspPropose a donation scheme per 100 miles or per day

bullenspApproach corporations for large scale sponsorship

bullenspStart a fundraising webpage

bullenspHold a golf tournament a happy hour a poker tournament or a silent auction

bullenspUtilize all social media

Most of our teams have no problem with fundraising after all they have an awesome cause and an epic event to run with

During your adventure you will be tasked with different missions which will pit team against team Your creativity and unique approach to each mission determines your ultimate score and the rally champion There can only victor but with this adventure combined with an amazing charity every team wins

So what is the experience going to be The full Mexican coastal route through Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco Or would you rather hit the some of the biggest cities in the world and drive through Guadalajara and Mexico City Or why not visit the Mayan ruins of Monte Alban on the outskirts of Oaxaca

And once yoursquove crossed the border into the incredible mountains of Guatemala will you choose the southern view of Lake Atitlan and up through the historic peaceful Antigua or will it be the northern route taking in Quetzaltenango and the incredible hikes of northern Guatemala Central America really is your oyster and if you can take the time to cross into Belize on your route too then by all means do so

Without too many detours the average rally takes about four weeks but this is where the imagination can be the guide there are no rules on this one You can take as long as you want exploring every corner of Central America or take the most direct route if you are stuck for time

And whatrsquos it all for Good question We work with and fundraise for Growerrsquos First an organization that works closely with rural farming families in the mountains of southern Mexico and Central America to enhance their livelihood assisting them in becoming productive contributors to society and of course producing high quality coffee beans They have several bases throughout Central America so we encourage you to stop in if yoursquore in the right area

The 2014 MesoAmerica Charity Rally kicks off next summer in San Diego on July 5 Wersquoll be hosting a launch party at the starting line

Bringing home the baconFundraising is an integral part of the deal While the entry fee goes a long way to supporting the operating expenses for organizing the rally Go Help relies largely on fundraising from the teams to support the partner projects in Honduras Whether it is friends donating per mile or family chipping in per day or better still high flying contacts emptying their pockets in bulk all we ask is that the first $1000 raised goes to Go Help and in turn to the local efforts wersquore involved in with Growerrsquos First

Any sum raised above that $1000 threshold is free to be donated as wished While many people choose to leave it with us to beef up the pot for Honduras some prefer to take this surplus and donate it to a charity of their choice or indeed to several worthy causes This is entirely up to the teams and wersquore happy to help either way We also encourage teams to gather supplies and equipment to enhance the work of Growerrsquos First Examples are new or used medical equipment such as x-ray machines or dental equipment or school supplies such as paper pens books and the like Teams on other rallies have even been creative in bringing bouncy castles mascot costumes and recreational sports equipment

In addition to fundraising for the charity many of our teams like to get themselves sponsorships which rather than going to charity goes towards helping to cover the costs of the vehicle the expenses etc Itrsquos very important when setting out to raise money be it fundraising or sponsorship that it be made very clear to which of these the donors are contributing Not only do we give a load of money that you raise to charitable projects we also make sure that the vehicles that you drive are donated to the best possible places once they arrive in Honduras Thatrsquos why itrsquos important for you to choose with our help the right vehicle before you set off

Get some WHEELS Any type of vehicle can be driven to Honduras and we at Go Help do our best to help teams make the right choices avoid the heavy burden of tax import duties and get all the paperwork right first time

There are however a few important things to know making the ultimate rally vehicle purchase Our team is always on hand to help further but the key elements to bear in mind when choosing the right wheels are as follows

bullenspAll vehicles taking part in the MesoAmerica Charity Rally must be pre-approved through the charity rallies organizers

bullenspOnly vehicles useful to the people of Central America should be driven as these will be donated on arrival

Our disclaimerDANGER

Wersquove said this before itrsquos mentioned time and time again but we canrsquot stress this enough Driving 6000 miles half way across Central America can be dangerous

Once wersquove helped you pick the right vehicle get your paperwork sorted and waved you off the starting line you are on your own

This is not a walk in the park This is not a country jaunt This is not a jolly excursion to look at the pretty views This is adventure This is a challenge And itrsquos dangerous

We do not hand-hold we do not assist We do not give you emergency numbers to call No back-up van will be escorting you or hidden in the shadows should you fall flat on your face No mechanics will be positioned in strategic places across the Sierra Madre No translators await you at border crossings and helicopters will be dropping food to you in the middle of nowhere

You will be fending for yourselves You will be dealing with irate foreign border guards de-muddying the wheels of your vehicle when you get stuck in a ditch Be prepared to pull push shove kick and abuse your car when it just canrsquot take any more dust and sand from dirt roads Forget comfort soft warm beds and temperate running water

No one will be there to give you advice There is no one you can call

We repeat you are on your own

We take no responsibility for you or your vehicle so be prepared Read up ask questions before you leave our

team is here to help you in any way we can before you set off so put us to good use Take thousands of photos

bring back a million memories do some good but be careful itrsquos a jungle out there
