This year my girlfriend @federicacocco and I are driving the ambulance pictured below from London to Mongolia for charity, in order to donate the vehicle and any funds we raise to a community in need.
Below is the ambulance we’ll be donating, setting off on July 9th 2011 and arriving roughly 4-5 weeks later. We’re doing this in partnership with the London Ambulance Service and the registered UK charity Go Help.
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, including a very generous £250 from my awesome employer, Umbraco. We appreciate all donations large or small, so please do give something today – thank you!
Our route is below. Not long, eh? 
We’ll also be tweeting, blogging and filming along the route. If you’d like your company to sponsor us, we can accept wire transfers or PayPal Donate transfers too – please do get in touch as we’ll pretty much bend over backwards to accommodate your sponsorship request. There’s a lot of space on the side of that ambulance for logos etc.!
This was a fantastic compliment and one which definitely came out of left-field. In the coming months I’ll be increasing my blogging output and applying for as many speaker slots as I can at the many fun tech meetups with which our industry is blessed – including spreading the word about Umbraco which is, of course, one of the most popular CMS tools on the ASP.NET stack. *Cough* bias *cough*.
