Owen and Aiden are taking part in the 2011 Rickshaw Run which has so far raised over £100,000 for FRANK Water Projects to fund water filtration projects around the world, helping more than 100,000 people gain access to clean, healthy water for life. An amazing achievement.

This photo was sent to us as Owen and Aiden reached the sunny shores of Cochin in the southern Indian state of Kerala, 3000km from their start point of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

Owen said, “Our journey by rickshaw has been an amazing adventure, full of incredible people, fantastic food, breakdowns, a crash, and above all some absolutely marvellous tea! The favourite throughout most of the country is the famous Masala Chai, a delicious spiced milky brew. But of course, India being the home of our friends Assam and Darjeeling and very close to Ceylon in neighbouring Sri Lanka (to name but a few), there are plenty of tasty brews to choose from.”

If you would like to help, donations can still be made via their website: www.theadventurists.com/live-and-let-chai or their Just Giving site: www.justgiving.com/live-and-let-chai

Aiden said, “Anything you can give to help this very worthwhile cause would be greatly appreciated. After all, how can we call this a civilised world, if some unfortunate people among us don’t have access to water for a clean, pollutant free cup of tea in the morning?”

Keep up the good work guys
