 Support us and Save The Children and perhaps even win a prize!

How this Works

We're driving around South America in cars which are quite elderly. It therefore stands to reason that, at some point, we may (and probably will) break down.

Although bad for us, it's good for you - because if you can guess how many miles elapse before we conk out, you can win a prize by correctly guessing this mileage. You'll even get a brief mention...

Just as with last time, you have the chance of making some money from all this. Up to 10% of the total amount donated to Save the Children by all of you (to a maximum of £600) will be donated by myself to pay 2 prizes. To win you must donate at least £10 to Save the Children. The total mileage of the route is 9,000 but, given the unknown state of the roads, I can’t guarantee we will get that far in the time allocated. Select the mileage at which you think I will breakdown. (A breakdown is an unscheduled stop for repairs which can not be fixed in an hour at the side of the road). The person nearest to the actual breakdown mileage wins a prize. Last time it was complete co-incidence my nephew won…..

If we don’t use up the prize money, it will be donated to Save the Children.

 

 

We start December 4th 2005 – so book those first miles quickly. After that length of time at sea – who knows what state she will be in!

This system uses PayPal - if you'd rather make a good old-fashioned pledge, please use our contact form instead and we'll send the collection agency out on our return.

 

For PayPal:

Click the Guess & Donate button to support us! All payments are being processed through our "Very British" PayPal account.

Important: If you provide name, address and postcode, and state "Gift Aid please" in your comments, the donation will be tax free.

If you pay tax in the United Kingdom, Gift Aid is a scheme by which you can give a sum of money to a charity, which can then claim from the Inland Revenue basic rate tax on your gift.

We ask for your help by completing a brief declaration. To do so, you must:

  1. Be a UK taxpayer and have paid Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the last or current financial year.
  2. Show your name, address, postcode and the amount you have donated.

P.S. Don't forget to also use the 'Message to Seller' box to write in your mileage breakdown guess! You can also (if you wish) send a message of support.

We'll also display you in our Hall of Fame, along with your name, location and mileage guess - if you'd prefer not to have any of your details displayed, please let us know. For privacy, we won't display your surname or any contact details such as email etc if you don't want us to.
