Gobi Desert Crossing
Donation protected
Hello everyone!
This fundraiser aims to support the Gobi Desert crossing speed record attempt (on foot), set to begin on Friday September 20th, 2019.
- EXPEDITION -
The funds we are aiming to raise will help covering all travel, logistical and technical expenses: including a 8 people team of support (guides/logistical/medical). As well as all the supplies and equipment necessary to withstand such an harsh environment.
The Gobi desert is 1.500 miles from East to West.
The goal is to run an average of 50 miles a day, aiming to set a Guinness World Record in 4 weeks.
The Gobi Desert crossing is the second chapter of the 4DesertsPROJECT which involves the crossing speed record attempt (on foot) of the 4 most EXTREME Deserts of the planet, run in 4 consecutive years:
2018 - the driest Desert: the ATACAMA (600miles across the northern region of Chile between the south bend of the Loa River and the mountains separating the Salado-Copiapo' basin).
- New Guiness World Record in 8 days, 12hrs and 49mins -
(Please check out the "Atacama Desert Crossing 2018" video on YouTube, for a short documentary of the expedition)
2019 - the windiest Desert: the GOBI (1.500miles across Mongolia and China through one of the most unforgiving environments the planet can offer)
2020 - the hottest (and biggest) Desert: the SAHARA (5.000miles across the whole Northern African continent in one of the most fascinating yet grueling landscapes on earth. A fascinating journey through different ethnicities and cultures)
2021 - the last (coldest) Desert: the ANTARCTICA (2.500miles from Coast to Coast, straight through the South Pole on the challenge of a lifetime)
- DOCUMENTARY -
The budget requested will also help funding and producing a documentary of the expedition! With your help, we are confident we can produce an inspirational, high quality documentary film of this amazing journey through the extremes of the human spirit and through the deep connection that exists with our magnificent Mother Nature.
An expedition set to share a positive message, to raise awareness about critical environmental issues and to reach a higher understanding of the role we play, as humans, on this beautiful planet of ours.

Any and All Donations will receive a Thank you Note + a copy of the Documentary + Credits

It is a project truly dear to my heart and a dream of a lifetime in the making! Any sort of support will be highly regarded and greatly appreciated!
With immense Gratitude and Love!
