Thank you sincerelyLife's WALK. London to Edinburgh. 22nd of May 2010 - 5th of June 2010
Ok,here we go.
Dont get me wrong...,i dont feel this task i have placed in front of me, as something easy...but life rarely is, is it?challenges come and go and we overcome them.We get better and we come out stronger.We can try.. keeping positive and being strong and helpful for your family, your friends ...and those in need of help.
I have wanted to do this walk since last year but had to wait for various reasons until now for it...
We see and hear challenges and difficulties many children and women around the world face each day...,each hour...,each second. As i write this right now, there are children and women suffering and facing abuse and danger. Denied of rights and sentenced to a life of extreme poverty. Children and women who are scared, hungry, cold, sad , abused. All in danger of being forgotten.
'I dont want to forget them.never,ever.'
Recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile have added further sufferings with devastation and fatalities. In these trying times however, people are coming together responding to help...
Many people in their thousands and thousands have been generous for these causes...,so we should carry on, and make a difference...,however small, how ever little.Help are getting to them, but the work has just begun.there will be more challenges ahead to keep their future right.
I have placed a high target. £250.000.
I believe it can be achieved, because the challenge i have placed in front of me is hard, more over the cause we are doing this for is WORTH every step.(there's a lot of them ahead.900.000 steps!)
I dont mind any amount in donation..all is greatly appreciated..UNICEF work in over 190 countries....i want to give a lending hand...That is why iam here.
Example of how powerful your donation is: 1 week's supply of therapeutic milk, nutritional products, vitamins and medicine for a child £101 complete survival kit, necessary to save the life of a severely malnourished child in less than 4 weeks £27
1 mechanical surface pump (less than 7 meters) £36
1 hand pump (20 to 70 meters) providing permanent and lasting access to safe drinking water for around 500 people from £350* to £2140
Lets help them keep their vital services running ..... If you want to know more about the work the charity do you can see it through this link
more example of how your money can affect them:
3 malaria nets for 3 families( saving them from mosquito bites which kills). £5
Equipment to detect malaria early(giving them critical time for help, especially children). £0.75
To keep a class open for 70 children(taking them off the street for a moment giving them a chance for a better future.and a smile.) £75
Help a child and his or her family to start their own (away from their daily routine of work in mountains of rubbish, each day from morning till afternoon in place where their lifes are threatened with contaminated needles, pollution and abuse). £150
I am going to do this walk on the 22nd of May 2010, in aid of UNICEF...and hope to raise money to help the CHILDREN.

1st day -London to Luton 50 km

Total distance is accurate but distances between places above are approx.
With avarege speed of 10min per km, i hope to cover each day distance of 49km in 7.5 to 8.5 hours...for 14days, calculating my steps have given a figure of around 900.000 steps...from London to Edinburgh....(starting from the Indonesian Embassy, London to the City of Edinburgh).
'' If only i can raise £1 for each step....'' for those in need, that would be fantastic.
My name is Berry.I am Indonesian. My country was affected recently with theTsunami. Help were given from everywhere you can imagine. I wish to thank every one for this. I know i must.Changes and differences for the better are still achieved to this day.
Thank you every one.
For this walk,I know that the quiet strength of the children will push me along the way. It is the ONLY reason why i am undertaking this.Would you walk with me by supporting me in this 'Life's walk'?
With your support and God's WILL i know i can safely reach Edinburgh and make a difference.Let's...
My dearest wife Linda, my daughters Dewi and Dhiyandra and my son Anandra...thank you for the support and forgive me for leaving you all though briefly...
Finally, thank you for coming to my page. If you could let others know of this cause, it would be wonderful...,because this way we can all do our part in helping each other.
