Geotechnical engineer Andy Simpson and his girlfriend, Laura Sims, a structural engineer, will be participating in a bizarre 1,300 mile race across India on a 500cc rickshaw. The money they raise will be split between the race charity Frank Water Projects, which funds safe drinking water schemes, and their own chosen charity, Cancer Research UK. They need company sponsors and individual donations to reach their goal. Find out more info and support them if you can at their website. Good luck Andy and Laura! [Source: This is Bath.
