Guy Laister and Zachary Coleman, both 20, will hit the road for the Friends of Frank Wise School with pals 21-year-old David Tapping and Tim Morgan, 19. A 22 year-old Austin Maestro – that’s been on the road since before they were even born – will ferry them across the globe, raising money for the school where Mr Laister’s 15-year-old sister Olivia is a student. Miss Laister has cerebral palsy, which affects movement and co-ordination. Big brother Guy, who lives in Chipping Norton and is a graphic design student at the University of Gloucestershire, said: “We wanted to do something for a charity where we could see where all the money is going. “My sister goes to the Frank Wise School in Banbury. We went there to have a look around and we saw they needed some new gym equipment. That’s why we’re doing it.” The challenge will see them drive through Europe, into Turkey and then Georgia before driving through to Mongolia. The students will take on some of the world’s most dangerous roads, including the Pamir Highway, which travels through Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The epic journey will take the team between six to eight weeks to complete.
