Miles for Mankind: So far, so far.

So far, so far.

It's been seven months!

It's amazing how a few little steps can add up to over a hundred miles, and we're slowly creeping up to the 200 mile landmark.

A big thanks to everyone who sent support and donations - sums big and small have arrived from different people around the world, and even surprisingly, from a runaway bear!

He sent US 30 dollars!

I'm going to keep walking as much as I can - there's a LEVEL 10 mothership of a hike this weekend, and another munro in the making in September. Please keep checking back and keep giving generously.

THANK YOU!

Walking for Fundraising

Last year, on a whim, I went on a trek around the Himalayas. The experience was so amazing that when I came back to the UK, I had to keep walking. Soon, a few people joined me and now we take a long hike every Saturday. We even walk in the rain. Only a thunderstorm keeps us indoors.

I'm really grateful for the enjoyment of walking. Not everyone is as lucky. Kids in Cambodia, as young as 5 or 6 years old, live with handicaps from being injured by landmines.

Project Enlighten aims to provide self-sustainable educational and humanitarian assistance to those who need it most, the children of the world.

At present, they're also helping to send aid to Myanmar across the border. They've managed to circumvent government resistance to foreign aid by working with local organisations. For every US$ 4000, they can send in a truckload of supplies that can save 15 families.

I aim to walk as far as I can. My first goal is 200 miles.

I would ask you please give generously to Project Enlighten in support of this charity endeavour. Together, with your support, we can make a difference one child at a time.

Please note that Project Enlighten does not utilise any donations for administrative costs. All travel costs incurred by my walking will be covered by me.
