Mike if you want to do this for a charity, you could try and get some sponsership from a fuel company to help pay for the fuel for the trip. If it's for a very well known cause then you will proberbly stand a better chance of getting it. You may have to have some form of livery on the car from the sponsers but hey, best way to get some publicity for them and for OOF as well, if someone can come up with some form of livery for the trip.

Paul,

Yes, I was hoping that UNISEF would get involved and Ewan McGregor would meet us somewhere. I have asked the question. I am also looking to get fuel company sponsorship and even ask the campsites to help a bit.
I am in talks now with a mate of mine that designs websites to ask if he will do a website for it that we can upload images to and Blog.

You not in then?

Mike

Would love to be your co-pilot but might not be able to get the time off work. I thought about doing the samething a few years ago, but thats as far as I got. You never know I might be able to do the same with my company for a kids charity as they love that sort of thing but would need to speak to the MD's about it, if they like the idea we could do it together but will see.

OK, update...

Shell - can't help
BP - still waiting to hear
UNIDEF, still waiting to hear.

Will push harder once I get the website up and running.

We may have to livery up our cars a bit if we get seriously sponsored, but we'll see.

sounds like this could be a great oportunity to do a great deal for a charity & also push the oof a little. everyone i know that has done the j.o.g to l.end run seem to have done it for cancer research, i think it would be nice to choose some other charity. thats open to discussion i presume with whome will be taking part?. we need more folks, so come on chaps, get ya names down!!. :y

Shell
BP
Asda
Halfords
The AA

Not giving up though, plenty of time yet :)
