KIWI KITE SURFERS TAKE PART IN MONGOL RALLY Wanaka locals entering the Mongol Rally to raise money for the Upper Clutha Children's Medical Trust. Darryl Sherwin and Leon Ford (Dazza and Leon) are about to embark on the race of a lifetime. The Mongol Rally is a car rally from Goodwood Motor Circuit in England through to Ulan Ude in Russia and runs from the 17th July to the 26th August! The route will take them through 18 countries, 3 mountain ranges, endless kilometres of desert, at least 28 tanks of gas and innumerable pot holes! Dazza and Leon have a Suzuki Jimney for the race that Sign Depot Wanaka have sponsored the awesome graphics for. They are raising money for the Upper Clutha Children’s Medical Trust which is a Wanaka based
Charitable Trust, established in 2009 to support families in the Upper Clutha area who are struggling financially because of the demands placed upon them by their children’s health issues. Dazza and Leon originally met 15 years ago while both worked on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter in Auckland as a pilot and crewman respectively. Both Leon and Dazza are avid kite boarders and if this journey of 14,000kms wasn’t epic enough they have added to the challenge by trying to kiteboard as many waterways as possible.
