Top 10 Tuesday: Reasons to give us your money

With 98 days till we hit the road I thought it was about time to remind everyone why we're doing this and to give you ten reasons why you should give us some of your hard earned cash - at least I'm honest.

1) Rally contestant funds and other donations will help The Put Foot Foundation to put 600 pairs of shoes on underpriviledged kids feet. The Foundation itself works as an umbrella organisation investing in and supporting social development projects and so any money going to us and on to the Foundation is, as they say, for the kids.
2) A fully equipped anti-rhino poaching team - I'm not going to include links to all the horrible photos I've seen of rhions without horns, and baby rhinos next to their dead mothers - all I'm going to say is that poaching is a real problem and the Put Foot Rally organisers, in association with Project Rhino will put any monies we raise into helping to stop poaching. So if you're not too worried about the kids maybe spare a penny for the rhinos. They really are awesome and one of the closest things we'll ever see to a dinosaur.
3) We write this awesome blog which has entertained you with buzzfeed, animal facts, ridiculous fur-covered cars and promises to continue providing all manner of amusing, bizarre and sometimes important content.
4) We really really don't want to be the 3 girls that got lost leaving Johannesburg (you laugh, but this has happened to me before) AND didn't raise any money for the kids, or the rhinos. Save us from that shame at least.
5) The warm fuzzy feeling giving is meant to provide - why not test the theory by giving us some money. If you don't get a warm fuzzy feeing, don't admit it, that's not normal.
6) We're mad enough to travel 7000kms in 17 days in a Toyota Conquest which wouldn't be IDed if it was buying booze (it's definitely old enough). Surely that deserves some money just for comedy value.
7) We'll be really really happy.
8) And grateful.
9)  If we don't raise any money then this is just a glorified holiday and we don't take 3 weeks off, spend everything we have and create a blog for a holiday. That would seem...excessive. But if it's for the kids and the rhinos then our fun is totally definitely not completely selfish.
10) And finally, we're pretty. That's probably not a good enough reason. But it was worth a try.

Thanks in advance.

Most important  - this is how to give us your money:

1) Go to the Put Foot Give Gain account - HERE
2) Hit the DONATE NOW button
3) Don't forget our CREW NAME in the comments box
4) And you are DONE.

And we are smiling :)
