Team Shake & Bake

The Put Foot Rally is a 17-day journey through Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique. One of the rally’s crews, Shake & Bake, will also be responsible for maintaining their own vehicles and route. The four members of this journey are Meegan Rourke, Louise Gans, Andrew McGill and Gordon McTavish. They will leave on 20 June, and their checkpoints are Etosha, Victoria Falls, Kariba Dam, Lake Malawi.

Team Shake & Bake has targeted R50 000 as their fundraising goal for The Put Foot Foundation, and are encouraging people to “rally” around them in support of a good cause. Donations earmarked for The Put Foot Foundation will be channeled into “Shoe Drops”, where underprivileged school children at pre-identified schools along the route will be given brand new quality 100% leather South African made school shoes, enabling them to walk to school without discomfort, cold or infection, and giving them access to schools who prevent children from attending without a full school uniform.

It gets better. MINI has just announced that it will be the official vehicle sponsor of the team!

Says Karen Valle, general manager of MINI:

We are excited to partner with the Put Foot Rally crew and have no doubt that the MINI Countryman will demonstrate its broader range of abilities in both urban use and beyond. The crew will demonstrate how the MINI Countryman paves the way for larger and evolving target groups with a greater need for space and flexibility to experience the driving fun that comes with a MINI.

Nice vibe, guys!
