Sir Ranulph Fiennes Bt OBE
"Driving across 3 continents from London to Cape Town to set a new record and doing so without breaking any motoring laws, requires detailed planning and thorough preparation. Having worked on our expeditions as our Logistics Coordinator since 1996, Mac is the perfect man to lead this team of motoring adventurers. I wish them all the best for their record attempt and fully support their efforts to raise £100,000 for Help for Heroes.”

I am a huge fan and supporter of Help for Heroes and I couldn’t think of a better charity to do the challenge for. I really wish I was going with you. Good luck on your journey."

"It is great to hear of your record breaking attempt on behalf of Help for Heroes. I never cease to be amazed and awe inspired by what people will do to raise money for our wounded heroes and I wish you the very best for a record, both in terms of speed and money raised. Good luck!"

Ben Saunders
"True to form, Mac Mackenney's latest record bid is a hugely challenging, complex and demanding adventure, and in supporting Help for Heroes, he and his team couldn't be doing it for a more worthy cause. Mac is a consummate, seasoned professional and I have no doubt in his ability to pull this off. I'm proud to support this endeavour, and I would urge you to do the same."

Dr. Mike Grocott
"Dear Mac, I wish you every success with your new project and have no doubt that you will achieve your goal of breaking the London-Cape Town driving record. I am not sure what records there are for logistics on Everest, but I am sure you broke them too when you did such a superb job for our expedition in 2007. Good luck, have a wonderful journey and I hope you raise a huge amount of money for such a very worthy charity: "Help for Heroes".

Neil Laughton
"Having completed roughly half the distance in twice the time, albeit in the world's first road legal flying car, I appreciate the scale of the challenge Mac and his team have set themselves with this world record attempt. I wish them the Best of British - especially at the border posts!

Steve Burgess
"The early stages of this latest challenge attempt by Max Adventure already show the hallmarks of another blistering success. London-Cape Town full speed!, it already is the stuff of motoring legend. Fantastic to see the traditional spirit of adventure lives on. Good luck Mac and all the team and I hope you raise a hefty sum for Help the Heroes"

Nick Sanders
"Good luck guys. Any adventure like this means you are ambassadors and you will meet people en route who haven't met people from the west or Europe before. This is real people meeting real people and not politicians or the media. It's cool and I wish you my heart felt support."

" I have known Mac since the mid 90s, when we were all involved in an Arctic trip with Ran Fiennes. If anyone can beat the Cape Town record set in 1963, he can! I wish him the very best of luck."
