The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation supports the most vulnerable children in Mongolia, working to break the cycle of poverty through medical support, education and community development. The money raised on the Mongolia Challenge will go directly to the projects of CNCF Mongolia. Providing emergency and long-term medical care for children who are orphaned or from desperately poor families. 
Why am I doing this?
Because we are so fortunate.
Because we do take for granted that we have clean running water, free education, an abundance of good food.
Because every moment of this trip I will be thinking about how we can make a positive change in the world by taking the first step, pedal and trot.
Because I have the ability of being able to capture amazing images that can, and will, change many children's futures.

My goal is to raise $15,000 to fund this trip to document the vital work that CNCF is doing in Mongolia. The Challenge it self is a gruelling 6 days of rural biking, hiking and horseback starting and arriving back in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Several days outside of this will be spent with CNCF members documenting the remote schools, and services provided to the children it is helping. 

The final product of this Challenge will be a coffee table book that will be used by the CNCF to document Blue Sky Village, as a promotional piece for the foundation, and ultimately as a long term fundraising item for their online store.




How The Funds Will Be Used


Your funds will help me reach both the fundraising goal for this challenge, associated travel costs and costs for book design. Each participant PAYS a minimum entry for the opportunity to do this challenge. And flights certainly aren't cheap to that side of the world!


The Challenges

This trip will be a tough physical journey encompassing 6 days of mountain biking, hiking mountain trails and horseback riding to help break the cycle of poverty for Mongolian children through fundraising.
Oh...and add the camera to the already overweight backpack!

I will be training for 3-4 months prior to this trip - my first time back on a mountain bike in almost 15 years.

Once I'm back I will immediately be ploughing into designing my book. I'm estimating 100+ hrs of my own work will go into the design. Backbreaking work in front of the Mac indeed!
