Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

One of the main reasons I'm undertaking this challenge is to test myself to the limits, to see how I cope both physically and mentally with the stresses and strains of an endurance event like this. Walking 100km in less than 30 hours is no small feat (although I have probably underestimated it!). To do this as part of a great team is a fantastic opportunity and one I'm thrilled to be involved in.

But it's also an opportunity for me to help raise awareness of the great work Oxfam do to support communities around the world in their aim to bring poverty to an end. I'm grateful to be in a position where I can choose to take part in an event like this, where I can choose to walk 100km because I want to and not because I need to. There are so many people in this world who don't have that choice and for them a walk like this is a necessity to get water or food or medical treatment to help their family survive.

There are many people in this world who are less fortunate than ourselves. Anything we can each do to help raise awareness and the funds to support the great work that organisations like Oxfam do is so important. I'm thrilled to be a part of this great adventure and greatly appreciate any support you choose to give. Thank you x
