200 km. Endurance Walk Challenge

$2,080 donated
Given by 30 generous donors in around 6 months

We are going to challenge ourselves, attempting to walk 200 km. in less than 66 hours while raising money for the Child Cancer Foundation

Auckland

On Friday 22 April 2016 at 07:00 two of us will start the challenge of trying to walk 200 km. in less than 66 hours.

We walked the Oxfam 100km. walk in March 2015 , and decided to attempt 200 km.

We hope that both of us will be able complete the whole distance. We are planning on getting friends, family, work colleagues etc. to walk with us for exercise,fun and moral support along the way.

We decided to do fundraising for this specific charity,due to personal experience for the senior member of this team and his family with Child Cancer.

Hi everyone

We just want to thank everyone again for all your donations to this good cause.

We've finished our walk.

We only managed to do 100 km. , in 29 hours,without sleep. We tried.

Although we're disappointed in only doing 100km. we realised that it's just so much harder on a surface like tarseal roads with no shock absorption.

We feel like we did 200, with the aches and pains we have !

Thank you again .
