Donate!

While some more ordinary people would simply lay on the guilt trip and try to shame you into donating to their chosen cause, Michael and Peter believe you should get something more for your hard earned currency. With that in mind, we present below our schedule of rates for 2009 Mongol Rally related charitable donations*.

To choose a donation related service, simply make a donation using one of the JustGiving or FirstGiving widgets at the below, leaving a comment specifying what you would like in return. For items marked POA, please email us first at mongolrallyteam@gmail.com to negotiate rates.

* Prices are subject to change without notice. Donate early to lock in the current rate!
** We can't guarantee they'll write it in english, or that they'll say anything nice to you.
*** Subject to safety considerations. If, on the ground and on the day, it looks like such antics will get us jailed we reserve the right to reschedule to a more friendly area. Oh, and email us a photo before we leave for the rally and we might just use it as a prop...
**** Again, subject to not being guaranteed to get us in jail. Don't ask us to declare our hatred for Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran or anything daft like that. It ain't gonna happen. And remember kids, bullying isn't cool - this is supposed to be humourous, not a way to victimise the uncool kid with the wrong brand of trainers.
***** We make no representations as the quality of our interpretive dancing.
****** This will be emailed to you as a PDF or other suitable electronic document for you to print or have printed... Printing and mailing adds costs, and we'd rather not handle your money.




Now I realise you may be wondering "How do I ask these men among men to send me a postcard from a country of my choice, when I don't know which countries they're traveling through?"

This is a good question, and I don't have a perfect answer for you. The visa gods are currently passing judgement on our heroes passports. We also don't know exactly where the hunt for the rogue bankers will take Peter and Michael. Send us a quick email when you're making the donation with the countries you're thinking of, and we can guide you in the right direction.

  1. Hi Michael - I'm a work colleague of your Mum's and have bought two postcards - have never received a postcard from either Kazakhstan or Mongolia and look forward to receiving both here at Parliament House, Spring St Melbourne - I've been watching the TV program Long Way Round and they've gone through Kazakhstan and Mongolia which looke like a real challenge but lots of fun - Mark
