Two Lassis Indian Rickshaw Run for Children with Disabilities ,

About the event
The What?!?! - The Event:
Imagine the quietest, fastest, safest all-terrain vehicle in the world…now imagine the opposite. A three-wheeled tin can with a 2 stroke, single-cylinder, 7 HP engine and an estimated top speed of 40 mph (downhill): the mighty rickshaw. Now imagine the bliss of traversing the Indian subcontinent in this untrustworthy steed, traveling through the Rajasthan desert and over the Himalayas. This is the Rickshaw Run; a completely unaided, self-driven journey which wobbles over thousands of miles of ridiculous terrain, from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan in the North of India, ending to the East in Shillong, India. There is no set route, no backup, and no support system in place; the goal is to make your way from point A to point B (safely!) within two weeks. Take away the sensory overload and chaos of traveling through the world's second most populated country and this is essentially the equivalent of driving a half-broken down lawnmower from Minneapolis to Mexico City.
Are you Crazy??? - The Reason for the Madness:
Maybe we are a little crazy and while this may be the adventure of a lifetime there is a greater purpose for this madness; raising funds and awareness for some incredible organizations. The Rickshaw Run is a charity event which brings teams together from around the world for a variety of causes. We will be supporting The Center for Gait and Motion Analysis at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare. The center uses state-of-the-art technology to guide physicians in creating the best treatment plan possible for children who have difficulties walking. The center is known worldwide for their expertise and sees patients from all over the U.S. and nearly 20 countries. Nearly 75% of their patients have cerebral palsy. Funds raised will support long-term outcomes research which will help physicians understand if former patients are successful as they move into adulthood at a result of their treatment at Gillette. The results of this study can influence the care and lives of children with cerebral palsy and other conditions affecting their mobility worldwide.
The Team and Our Goal:
Team Two Lassis consists of Nancy Heuer and Jess Warffuel, two University of Minnesota graduates with ambitions for further education in the medical field and a passion for travel, adventure, the outdoors, and “doing good”. Our goal is to raise $50,000 for Gillette Children’s Hospital, as well as cover the cost of our adventure through sponsorships. And of course, make it out alive with our sanity still intact!Why should you sponsor?
