4 Wheels. 16 Days. Budapest-Bamako.

Which SVP Partner and his son recently kicked off a 16-day charity race from Europe to Africa?

There are probably easier ways to raise funds for a school.  But then, where's the fun in easy?!  On January 14, 2012 SVP Partner Daniel Byrne, his son Coner and their friend Arthur Edstrom revved the 4.2 L diesel turbo engine in their 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser. 

Team Bright Eyed was ready to rumble.  From Hungary to Guinea-Bissau. On four wheels. In 16 grueling days.  No rescue helicopters.  No tow trucks.  No translators, lawyers or tour guides.

This is Budapest-Bamako 2012: The Great African Run.  Team Bright Eyed’s mission?  To build a permanent rural school and dig a well in central Guinea-Bissau.  (Oh, and win the race of course!) 

Join the race on Team Bright Eyed’s blog, track their progress on a live map, and learn about their mission.
