BS: Fibula Mattock and team needs sponsors

From: Ella who is Sooze

Fibula Mattock and her two pals are attempting to complete the Mongol Rally.

From Hyde park to Mongolia in a nissan micra (V small car)!!!

A long time Mudcatter, Fib is up for another challenge, and doesn't do things by halves. Looks like she's up for an intereseting challenge - and all for charity.

Anyone who knows/met/chatted etc to Fibs will know she's a fab, madcap kind of gal, and has already completed a string of other for charity events (marathons and such larks). This is the latest adventure - Her team (the Feckin Irish Rovers) need sponsors for the 3 charities they have chosen to do the run for. here's the info about what she's getting herself into

mongol rally

And here's the info about her team the 'fecking irish rovers'

'feckin irish rovers'

There's 3 worthy charities, all needing support. How about it, how about a bit of mudcat support if you can either in the way of Sponsorship - or if you can't messages of encouragement here and on the websites linked to the race - or here infact would be good - have a look at the sites. It looks like a great adventure.

Hope you don't mind Fibs

All the best EWIS

Would it be better to do this individually or as a Mudcat group?

I would suggest the latter, with donations being a nony mouse.

Can we do it through one of the Friends of Mudcat in the UK, using the account they have set up?

glad to see all the mudcatters (is that correct) supporting the feckin irish rovers,
you can also help by getting drunk if you buy feckin irish whiskey and reference us then 10% goes to help the orphans, the money that is not the whiskey
get drunk save a child
