One Step Beyond - Walking 100km in a day!
We walked 100 KM in 26 hours 44 minutes for oxfam this July!
We started at 7am on Saturday morning from Queen Elizabeth Park, Petersfield, and made it (just) accross the line at Brighton Racecourse at 9:44 on Sunday Morning.
The whole team are sporting our bandages and blister patches with a huge amount of pride!
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us, especially those of you who kept our morale up during the walk with texts and facebook comments, even in the wee small hours of Sunday morning!
Finally the biggest thank you of all to Mum, Dad, Colin and Eszter, our support crews, without whom we would never have been able to finish this.
It's all in aid of Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
So if you feel you could add something to the fundraising total, we'd be enormously grateful. It'll make it feel like it's all worth it!
Lots of love,
Clare,Peter, Jimi and Karen
