I’ve known Oliver since he was a kid and my Rottie [Hugo] would come bounding up to him, knock him over and lick his face!

Alex Lindbloom and Oliver Deppert are racing across India in a baby taxi (aka tuk tuk, aka auto rickshaw).

Here is a message from Oliver, self explanatory and please do contribute for a good cause:

Thanks!

We are doing this race with a group called “The Adventurists.” The race is called “The Rickshaw Run.” http://rickshawrun.theadventurists.com/index.php. We will start in Cochin, in southern India and race for 2 weeks to Rajasthan.
We are doing this for fun, but more importantly we are doing this to raise money for an NGO called “Franks Water Project,” http://www.frankwater.com/Home.html. We need your help and donations to raise 2000 – 3000 US dollars. This money will go directly to Franks Water Project in India to help the less fortunate have access to clean water.
FRANK Water Projects funds facilities that use the the world’s most effective water filtering process. The facilities are community owned and run, with an emphasis on the project being sustainable well into the future.
So now have a page up so you can start donating money to Frank Water Projects. It goes straight to Frank Water Projects so you don’t have to worry about us losing it or spending it on beer and hookers. This is a really great cause guys, Frank Water Projects makes it possible for hundreds of thousands of people across India to have safe a clean water, and now are going to other countries as well. We would appreciate any donation possible. If you do make a donation of 20 dollars or more we will send you a T-shirt in the mail, you can check them out in the picture section. And if you make a donation of 100 dollars or more we’ll figure out something really cool to do for you…more on that later. Thanks a ton guys, it means a lot to all of us...
