In addition to raising money online for charity, Dan Murdoch and his fellow Trabant Trekkers have had quite an adventure. Dan was a guest blogger for us back in January and we’ve had fun following his progress since then. Not content with the typical backpacking experience, Dan and his friends decided to drive 15,000 miles in what he calls the worst car in the world, the Trabant. While driving, blogging and traveling, Dan has raised thousands of dollars for two Cambodian charities and raised awareness of the global issue of street children. Upon completion of his mission, Dan has published a book of his adventures and 10% of profits will go to the charities.
Dan’s online fundraising page has been collecting donations for almost a year, and for all you UK’ers, Dan and his crew also have a very successful fundraising page through our sister company, Justgiving. Congratulations, Mr. Murdoch!
