Help me send 30.000 children to school!
| February 19th, 2010
Today is the day that I need ALL of your help. A month ago me and a team of willing and enthousiast TomTom employees decided to apply for the Oxfam Novib Trailwalker event.
The Oxfam Novib Trailwalker is the world´s greatest team challenge. Teams of 4 walk (or run) 100 kilometers in under 30 hours and it is part of an international series also held in Hong Kong, the UK, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and Belgium. The event has raised more than $70 million internationally with thousands of people competing each year. The second trailwalker will take place in the Netherlands on 5 and 6 June 2010.
The location of the Trailwalker is the well known nature reserve de Veluwe, with start and finish in Ede.
Besides the physical challenge each team is obliged to raise 3000 euro’s with the ultimate goal of each team helping to give 30.000 children education, in countries like Uganda. Each team has it’s own support team which offers the team all the necessary support during the 100 kilometers, such as food and beverages, warm clothing and most importantly encouragement and motivation when you question if you can walk anymore.
You can support my team by a fixed amount or an amount per KM.
Read the sponsoring amount carefully. You can donate money online directly here: http://2010.trailwalker.nl/AanmeldingSponsor.aspx?teamId=48. (dutch).
