We have been fundraising for Help for Heroes this last year and have decided to run Expedition Marrakech, the first of many Expeditions..

The whole point is to raise money and show our support for our men and women, keeping us safe. Our chosen charity is Help for Heroes.

Essentially we will leave the UK via Dover on the 14th May 2011 and drive South via France, Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco!

5 Countries!

Yes we are all MAD!! before you ask.

We are taking the infamous Mercedes G Wagen again!

Nick is bringing his G Wagen!!

We now need sponsors and donations so don't be shy!!!

We will be writing a blog on route and posting pictures.

Team Cobra has come together from various parts of the globe to organise Expedition Marrakech. They are dedicated to raising their target goal of 20,000 pounds for the Help for Heroes charity.
