    Mike has had lots of experience talking to media one on one. For Pankaj even that wasn't something he had done before.

    In Mumbai we faced a room full of newspaper radio and TV journalists in a press conference that ran for 1 hour. The concept of walking for charity is new to India and we faced a lot of questions about how and why.

    We have assured them that at least one of us will complete the walk.
