Hydration Technology Innovations, LLC (HTI) will sponsor the Mongolia 2010 Expedition of British Adventurer Ripley Davenport.

Davenport, who will attempt the first recorded solo and unassisted traverse across the vast landmass of Mongolia, has chosen HTI’s osmotic water filters for the expedition. The trek will begin in May of 2010.

This effort intends to push the frontiers of human capabilities, challenge ecological values and inspire youth to reach beyond their perceived limits and engage their dreams.

Davenport will walk 1700 miles / 2750 km’s across the Eastern Mongolian Steppe, Gobi Desert and the Altai Mountain Range, while hauling provisions and equipment weighing in excess of 200kg in a wheeled trailer, specifically designed for the journey, in 90 days or less.

The unique HTI technology will allow Davenport to filter any available water to very high purity levels, reducing the amount of supplies that must be carried on the trailer. The HTI filters do not clog in muddy water, and are ideal for the expedition.

The Mongolia 2010 Expedition objectives are:

1. To raise awareness about human and environmental sustainability and act with strong consideration for the environmental; social and interpersonal impact of one's actions.
2. To inspire, educate and create optimism as well as encourage youth to engage their dreams and get active.
3. Produce a documentary film, book and educational curriculum that focuses on teamwork and the spirit of adventure.
4. Develop a post expedition multi-media lecture series for education in schools and organizations.
5. To raise funds and awareness for two charities that support children: Hope & Homes for Children and UNICEF.
