This Christmas Darren Jones and Laura Villarroel from Bournemouth won't be at home enjoying a traditional Christmas. They are going to be driving 4000 miles from Plymouth to Banjul in The Gambia, starting on Wednesday, 19th December 2007, to help raise money for SANE - in a £155 Skoda!

The intrepid team are joining the Plymouth-Banjul Challenge and are aiming to raise money for both SANE and the British Heart Foundation. So long as the car makes it in one piece it will be auctioned off to also raise money for local Gambian charities!

If you want to find out more information and follow the preparations for the trip visit the 'Sko Far...So Good' website. You can support the team on their epic journey and donate to SANE by sponsoring them through their Just Giving page.

Thanks Laura and Darren for all you hard work and support and best of luck with the adventure.
