Blue Eyed Sun MD and Giftware Association Chairman<\/a>, Jeremy Corner, is embarking on a challenging 1,500km off road motorbike trip across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia from 2 – 11 July. Starting in Ulaanbaatar he will be riding with a group of eight friends and a support vehicle and staying in Gers (small huts) on a route that will cover distances of 150-200 miles each day.<\/p>\n Riding KTM 450 6 Day Enduro off-road motorbikes on this self funded trip, he is aiming to raise \u00a33,000 for the Christina Noble Children\u2019s Foundation<\/a> which helps street children in Mongolia.\u00a0The charity helps youngsters in desperate need on streets of Ulaanbaatar, the coldest capital city in the world where temperatures drop to -40 degrees Celsius and unemployment runs at 60%. The funds raised will provide the children with access to warm accommodation, nutrition and social support through the Blue Skies Village<\/a> initiative which Jeremy plans to visit during his trip. If the target is reached it will be enough to purchase a new ger for the village.<\/p>\n Jeremy is a keen supporter of children’s charities having run several marathons for the likes of Barnardos<\/a>, Save the Children<\/a>, Rockinghorse<\/a>,\u00a0CLDF<\/a> and UNICEF<\/a>. He was inspired to support the Christina Noble Foundation after seeing Noble<\/a>, a film about Christina’s own life.<\/p>\n “Having a son and knowing how vulnerable children can be makes it all the more important that we help kids in the most challenging of conditions. They are the future of our planet and it makes so much sense to show them that there is love, generosity and compassion there for them. In time and with luck they will grow into adults who share these values.” – Jeremy<\/p>\n The Gobi desert is the fifth largest desert in the world and Asia’s second largest. It’s 500,000 square miles with a mixture of terrains and temperatures ranging up to 30 degrees celsius in July. In addition to physical training, Jeremy has spent the last six months learning to ride a motorbike, passing his license and training on off-road bikes in the UK to be able to complete this trip.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to support Jeremy\u2019s fundraising please donate what you can here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/gobidesertenduro<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Christina](\"https:\/\/www.blueeyedsun.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ChristinaNobleFoundationMongolia.jpg\")
