Donate to Cool Earth: Save Indigenous Lands
We’re raising money to support this fantastic organization, Cool Earth. All donations go toward indigenous peoples within rainforests to protect their communities from deforestation. These individuals help to protect the land, which in turn helps to fight the climate crisis.

We are currently traveling 2500 miles across India in a tuk-tuk and are taking this opportunity to raise donations to Cool Earth and support these communities in need. Follow our adventures; we promise we’ll provide plenty of stories along the way!

Please consider donating to this awesome cause. For every $25 that you donate, we will give back to you as well. Choose one of the following…

1) A one-of-a-kind souvenir from India!

2) A Ganesh blessing at a temple in your name!

3) An Instagram shoutout with locals who will celebrate you and all of your glory!

Donate $75 and we’ll do all three of these just for you. Lucky you!

Thank you all, we love you!

Rickshaw Run 2024 - Raising Money for Cool Earth
Hi all - Roy, Oded, and Sean here.

This September, we're going on the journey of a lifetime to race a rickshaw (essentially a glorified lawnmower with wheels and a steering wheel) through the Himalayas in India with an organization called the Adventurists. Our adventure will take us through more than 1000km over mountain passes, through river crossings, and into remote villages, forcing us along the way to face our challenges head-on. The three of us have been dreaming of and planning this adventure for years and we're so excited to start in less than a month! You can see a little more of what we're expecting to encounter here. Our goal is to use our adventure as a platform to raise money to combat global warming by supporting the charity Cool Earth.

Cool Earth backs, supports, and listens to the people living in rainforests around the world. Indigenous peoples and local communities have lived in balance with rainforest for thousands of years and are the real rainforest experts. The charity is rated extremely high in terms of its impact measurement. As avid outdoorsy people, Roy, Sean, and Oded fully support a charity that aims to protect the Earth's natural resources.

Our journey starts in the city of Leh, in the region of Ladakh in the Himalayas on September 1 and we will be making our way down to Jaisalmer in Rajasthan over the course of 14 days. If you'd like to follow along with our journey, we will share links and tracking information as they become available!

Fuel Tyler and Forrest's Journey for Cool Earth
Hello!

We are Tyler and Forrest Honnold, two siblings taking on the Poles of Inconvenience Rally this summer with The Adventurists. Essentially, the two of us will be driving a tiny vehicle to remote and hard to reach points all throughout Europe and North Africa, having fun, competing against other international teams, and raising money for Cool Earth along the way.

You can read more about the rally at this link here:

https://www.theadventurists.com/poles-of-inconvenience/

Some more about us:

We are both born and raised in Sacramento, California, sharing a mutual love of travel. We grew up reading fantasy stories full of epic quests, and may have a bit of a desire to live them out ourselves.

Tyler turns 28 on the rally. They've been working in rope access for the last five years, first on wind turbines all throughout the United States and now restoring and repairing historic buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are working towards a Human Anthropology degree with Oregon State University and have an emphasis in linguistic anthropology. The mechanic of our operation - Tyler has built a number of cars and bikes, and is great with their hands ;)

Forrest is 25. By day they work as a high school English and Theater teacher, working with critical populations of students in the Sacramento area. They are in progress for a Masters degree in Language and Literacy, researching ways in which theatre education builds critical literacy skills in children and young adults. By night, Forrest moonlights as a drag artist and photographer, working in queer performance art and nightlife. Forrest is the navigator - ready to break down any situation and steer our little engine that could toward success!

It would mean the world if you could help us reach our fundraising goal. We are passionate about our adventure together, but we are even more passionate about stewarding a healthy planet for generations to come. We hope you can benefit us with a generous donation to Cool Earth. We appreciate your time!

Morgan Baum is fundraising
Rickshaw Running for Cool Earth
Hey! It's us- Lindsey, Morgan and David. If we haven't already told you (seems unlikely to be honest), we are racing a rickshaw through Sri Lanka in March. And we can't do it without you! Usually the next question is something like-

Them: umm a rickshaw?

Us: Yes- but think tuk tuk.

Them: cool cool, so... why?

Us: 4 years ago globe-trotting Lindsey discovered this wicked cool opportunity to drive a tuk tuk across the island of Sri Lanka with The Adventurists. The only problem was that there was nobody crazy enough to join her. Enter Morgan. One call to David in CA and our team was complete.

Them: but what do you actually have to do?

Us: We are given a starting destination and finish line coordinates. The following 6 days are up to us! We learn how to fix tuk tuk wheels and engines, plot our general route, and strategize on how we avoid leopards and road blocks by elephants. Then, go!

You get the idea.

But before we join our fellow adventurists in Sri Lanka we are joining the charge in helping to fight climate change with Cool Earth- an organization that works with indigenous peoples and local communities to fight for climate justice.

We appreciate any donation to get us closer to our goal, but if you are interested in a bit more fun:

Option 1: Donate $15 to be added to our Instagram close friends list to see all the behind the scenes, nitty gritty, ins and outs of our journey

Option 2: Be the highest donor by the time we take off and we will call on you to make a decision for our route as some point during our trip. Take the left at the fork in the road? Visit the beach instead of the mountain? The choice is yours.

Orr Rickshaw Race in Sri Lanka for Cool Earth
Hi all!

For our 50th birthday, we are embarking on an insane rickshaw race across Sri Lanka to raise funds for Cool Earth. Cool Earth is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit whose mission is "to back people, to protect rainforest and fight the climate crisis." https://www.coolearth.org

The rickshaw race will be in March 2023, and we will be racing against 50+ teams through the beaches and mountains of Sri Lanka. The race is run by an organization called the Adventurists, who describe it as:

"Imagine yourself and a couple of mates squashed into a 1 donkeypower rolling cake tin tackling thousands of miles of old school adventure. There’s no set route, no back-up and no way of knowing if you’re going to make it. The only certainty is that you will get lost, you will get stuck and you will break down. This is the Rickshaw Run."

You can learn more here: https://www.theadventurists.com/rickshaw-run/

So we welcome any donations as a part of our crazy adventure. We will create some sort of online channel for everyone to watch our progress as we make our way on this mad journey. Stay tuned for more info.

Best,

Melissa & Adam

Rickshaw Run 'Bingo' - Cool Earth
We are fundraising for Cool Earth. All money raised goes directly towards their work alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction.

We are joining a bunch of equally mental mates to race in a rickshaw from the north to the south of India. We hope to raise awareness of the devastation that climate change is making all over the world and help to raise some funds to directly help those who are most affected and least able to help themselves.

So get on board and watch us attempt 3,000kms on a hotted up lawnmover with no idea of where we are going to sleep! $5 will help but $50 would be better! For $50 we will even write your name or business logo on the side of our ride!

We need to make donations by the end of April so don't miss out.

Track the madness here, team name 'Bingo'

Support Team Exhaust Appeals' Race for Climate Change
If you know Stacy or myself, you'd know we have a passion for wild adventures. This year we have made the chaotic commitment to team up and race a rickshaw across Sri Lanka alongside dozens of individuals to raise awareness for deforestation through Cool Earth Action USA.

Cool Earth works alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction. All their partnerships are community-owned and led. Local people stand to lose the most from deforestation but the most to gain from its protection, that’s why they are the forest’s best possible custodians.

Why?

We need to save every rainforest in the world so future generations have somewhere to go for their own adventures. Not because we’re tree hugging sandal weavers, but because the world would be shit without them. It’s not about the carbon off twatting, the point is rainforests are indescribably excellent. Help us put a stop to the climate crisis.

When?

We are aiming to raise $600 by October 2025. Your support can make a real difference in this fight against deforestation, as well as supporting team Exhaust Appeal on the Rickshaw Run: Sri Lanka Edition.

Jennifer Cayias is fundraising
Help Fund Adventure for a Greener Future
I am a passionate adventurer and a passionate environmentalist, and for the next 6 months I am using my time and labor to further both at the same time :)

The Adventurists are a foundation designed to inspire both adventure throughout the world and charitable support, both of their own partner charity and local charities of participants. Therefore, my baseline goal is to first raise $700 for their charity, Cool Earth, and then another $700 for my charity of choice here in New Mexico (which will be posted soon).

I will be donating homemade goods of my own making in support of this venture - initially olive and almond oil soap and organic peanut butter dog treats, with more ideas coming :)

Your donations will go directly to Cool Earth and the items I am donating are a local initiative, however if you donate online but would still like a thank-you in the form of one of these then feel free to message me and I will mail it wherever you like. Thank you so much for reading this!
