Story

Four determined women (oops we lost one and are delighted to be joined by a man) embark on a foot-slogging challenge - to walk 100kms in under 30 hours!

Walking on average 3 miles per hour and allowing for eating and blister care, there won’t be time to sleep!!

If all that wasn’t enough of a challenge – we’re fundraising too! Through supporting Oxfam Trailwalker, we hope to make a difference to the lives of those desperately in need of assistance in poorer parts of the world.  For example:

£5 could pay for two school textbooks
£36 could provide safe water for 50 people
£100 could buy medicine for a whole community

Please dig deep and donate now. In a quote from M K Ghandi, we are reminded that "There is enough in the world for everybody's need, but not for one man's greed".

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. If you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. We will take cash and cheques as well!

Your kind support is very much appreciated.
