There are quite a few expeditions for charity. Nice way to do an expedition under the guise of a business and charity. Fund raising/sponsorship likely the hard thing. Here is one I know about that is sponsored by rover: http://www.drivearoundtheworld.com/

Lewis, my wife and the 2_4-paw drive Lab Rovers are also signed up for the trip. Erik O. on occassion frequents D-Web. his site has recently been updated with more information. we also think it should be a cool trip as Belize is a very nice Country. driving through Mexico could be boring, yet, it still will be ok.

Didn't look at the route, likely won't hit these areas, but there are interesting things to see. Copper Canyon, Casas Grandes and the artists of Mata Ortiz would back excellent visits. Here is a pic of some of the pottery they make in that region. I went down there an bought them from direct from the artists. Now there is a big market for them. http://mataortizpottery.com/gallery03.htm
