International expatriate insurance specialist William Russell has sponsored Team Gobi Ambulance in the Mongol Rally 2008 to raise money for five vital UK and international charities.
The Gobi Ambulance Team has entered the rally in a 1978 former St John Ambulance and will depart Hyde Park with 300 other teams on July 19th 2008 to drive around 10,000 miles to Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
The route is open to interpretation, London to Mongolia via anywhere. The Gobi Ambulance Team has chosen a tough route through much of central Asia. From Turkey they head south into Iran and onto Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kryghystan before entering Kazakhstan. Then into Russia before crossing into Mongolia via its Western borders.
The Gobi Ambulance Team of Mathew Booth, Russell Nunn and Stuart Garnham are aiming to arrive in Mongolia around four weeks after leaving London. William Russell has donated £2,500 directly to the charities supported by Team Gobi Ambulance and is providing them with comprehensive medical insurance.
James Cooper, Sales Director, William Russell says:
“This is a significant challenge for Team Gobi Ambulance which will raise money for five vital charities. They’re well qualified to succeed; Mat is a qualified yacht skipper who holds a full MCA medical care certificate, Russell is a qualified mechanic with significant off road driving experience and Stewart runs a car and commercial vehicle business that specialises in custom fabrications.
“At William Russell we’re delighted to back their challenge with the practical assistance of our GlobalHealth Elite plan providing comprehensive international private medical insurance and financial sponsorship. We wish them every success on the rally.”
