(Trailer) - YouTube Season 4 is going to be a little different!In March 2024, Michael will travel to Sri Lanka with his mother and younger brother to take part in the Rickshaw Run, an epic tuk-tuk race across the island. The adventure is meant to raise money for charity.The first £500 GPB raised will go to fund Cool Earth, an NGO fighting climate change. Everything raised in excess will go directly to the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand, an organization that does amazing work rescuing and rehabilitating elephants from abusive logging and tourist industries in Southeast Asia.* We would like to stress that 100% of donations go directly to these two charities. We are paying our own travel and administrative expenses. If you make a donation, every penny of it will go to raising funds for these two wonderful organizations. *If you would like to make a donation, you can do so on our Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/teammamasboysTo make it a little more fun, we are offering some special incentives if you make a donation! All fundraising tiers will receive the rewards from each of the previous tiers as well.If you donate $10 USD or the equivalent in any currency, you will get a shout-out at the start of our Season 4 adventure special episodes in Sri Lanka!For a $15 donation, we will send you an official Team Mama's Boys team sticker. For a $25 donation, we will send you a handwritten postcard from Sri Lanka while we are on our adventure.For a $50 donation, we will print your name or the name of your organization on the back of our team T-shirt which we will wear in Sri Lanka during the Rickshaw Run. For a $100 donation, we will also send you your very own Team Mama's Boys T-shirt. In addition, we are going to be undertaking a few challenges if we meet certain fundraising benchmarks.If we raise £500, we will learn a traditional Sri Lankan song and sing it to you. If we raise £750, each of us will do something out of our comfort zone. Kyle will learn and perform a traditional dance. Kim will take a Sri Lankan martial arts class. Michael will allow Kyle and Kim to choose any street food for him that he must eat at any time throughout the challenge. If we raise £1000, Michael and Kyle will both dye their hair purple (our team color) for the duration of the Rickshaw Run. And finally, if we raise £1500, we will personally visit the Elephant Nature Park and will ask them if we can kiss an elephant on the trunk.
