Bedford to Mongolia
Woburn safari park was the centre of an unusual scene recently. The exotic animals, so used to the sight of a trail of cars packed with families on day trips; their faces pressed against windows to catch a glimpse of their favourite, were caught by surprise at the arrival of a new range of creature; 13 ambulances in various colourings and with equally diverse functions.
The vehicles had all gathered to launch the 2012 Go Help Charity Rally, which included the ‘Dental Express’ team, father and son Reinhard and Alex Steiner from the Nürnberg area of Germany, setting out on their epic 10,000 mile pan-continental road trip for charity, across numerous mountain ranges, deserts and even more barren and inhospitable lands. They have started out from the safari park in Bedfordshire towards their final destination - the ancient Mongol capital of Ulaanbaatar.
Go Help operates Charity Rallies, an event platform which fundraises for charitable projects in Mongolia by challenging people to undertake incredible adventures which includes the Mongolia Charity Rally. Teams drive to Ulaanbaatar by any route they decide using vehicles of their choice, including ambulances, which are then donated by Go Help or used in its charity projects. Go Help is run by a team of volunteers and professionals and operates a local office in Ulaanbaatar, which manages and implements their Mongolia-based projects.
