Accordingly some believe life begins at 60 and a london septuagenarian couple is showing the way. Alan Braithwaite and his wife Pat, both 73, has taken up the Trans-India Challenge on their Morgan three-wheeler to raise funds for an India-based NGO, Goonj. Meanwhile the couple has embarked on a 5,600 km india tour in their 'Queen Bee', the star three-wheeler on indian roads. 

 

Perhaps the four legged trip will go on for 34 days and plans to cover most parts of India. Also accompanied by a film crew, their sojourn will be turned into a feature film which is due to be released later in 2020. Furthermore they took a 'rest' day at the british Deputy High Commissioner Andrew Fleming's residence here on tuesday talking about their journey saying "Queen Bee has behaved impeccably."

 

When speaking about the challenge, Alan says that the main aim is to put the spotlight on 'circular economy'. He explains that there needs a model which would help rural communities make a difference to their own lives while retaining their dignity. He says "A ‘circular economy’ that gives a hand-up, not a hand-out". He added "We are partnering with Goonj to raise awareness of the organisation inside and globally and raise two lakh pounds (Rs 1.8 crore) to help them fund the 'circular economy' projects”. Moreover when speaking about their journey, british Deputy High Commissioner Andrew Fleming says that with this ambitious journey, the level of awareness will rise on the prospects of 'circular economy' and thus for an eco-friendly and greener future.
