Tony Chirumbole, an East Brainerd area native and currently a senior at Georgia Tech, is on a team with four of his friends from Georgia Tech, and is participating in the Mongolia Charity Rally. The name of their team is One Small Steppe.  The team includes Jonathan Murphy, Tony Chirumbole, Rohan Iyer, Mitch Hotop, and Gunner Robinson.

The rally starts in Brussels, Belgium on July 1 and ends over 10,000 miles away in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.  The rally will take participants to over 20 countries across two continents and will take over a month to complete.  

Mr. Chirumbole needs to raise $1,200 for Go Help!, a UK based charity which raises money for educational programs and healthcare outreach in Mongolia.  

Mr. Chirumble and his teammates will also be purchasing a service vehicle to use on the trip, which will be donated to Mongolia upon arrival and used as an ambulance in rural parts of the country.
