Four people, one goal, 100 kilometres, 30 hours.19-20 July 2008
Sometimes you get the chance to achieve something really great. Trailwalker is one of those chances. It's a 100 km trek for teams of four to complete in under 30 hours.
The route follows the South Downs Way, finishing in Brighton - it's a challenging journey that will change lives. With Trailwalker the challenge is both physical and mental, and we must work together as a team to achieve it. Trailwalker is not just a challenge, it is also a commitment, not only on the day, but in the months running up to the event, as this event requires training. Many people think this event is 'only walking' but its actually two an half marathons, plus an ascent equivalent to that of Ben Nevis
If we walk at the normal speed of 3 miles an hour, it will take 24 hours, so allowing time for eating, and for blister care, there won't be any time to sleep!! By sponsoring me and my team you will be helping raise money for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust. These organisations share a purpose - to end poverty and to help poor people to improve their lives.
Just £10 could pay for fishing nets. One net can catch enough fish to support 80 people.Helping the fishermen to recover their livelihood and feed their families.
£30 could pay for school dinners for 500 hungry children.
£72 could pay for a day's supply of safe water for 100 people. Every day,more than 25,000 people die from disease caused by contaminated water. Oxfams water filters help to keep people alive.
£100 could buy essential medicines for a whole community for six months
£1600 can provide an entire mango plantation - giving a farmer a secure income for years
