100 Word Description Of Oxfam TRAILWALKER

In April of 2010, I am taking part in Oxfam TRAILWALKER - the world's greatest team endurance event  Our challenge is to walk a 100km trail from Wheelers Hill to Wesburn Park (near Warburton) in less than 48 hours. Teams must start together, stick together and finish together. And it's not just physically demanding, Oxfam TRAILWALKER is also a fundraising challenge as our participation means we have committed to raising at least $1,000 which helps some of the world's poorest people.

250 Word Description

In April of 2010, I am taking part in Oxfam TRAILWALKER - the world's greatest team endurance event. Our challenge is to walk a 100km trail from Wheelers Hill to Wesburn Park (near Warburton) in less than 48 hours. We have also pledged to raise at least $1,000 to help overcome poverty and suffering around the world.

Oxfam TRAILWALKER is all about teamwork. It’s a great way for friends or colleagues to bond and develop team spirit. Teams must start together, go through each checkpoint together, and finish together. They also have to train and fundraise together. While it’s considered a very challenging event, you don't need to be a marathon runner or a professional athlete to take part.  With the right training, mental attitude and a good support crew, just about anyone can do it. The Oxfam TRAILWALKER motto is “Commit, Endure, Achieve.”

Oxfam Australia works in 27 countries around the world including Indigenous Australia. By supporting Oxfam Australia through this event, participants and their donors are making a tremendous difference to people's lives around the world.

Oxfam TRAILWALKER began as a military training exercise in Hong Kong in 1981. Over time, the event has become one of the world’s leading sporting challenges, reaping massive annual success in Australia, Belgium, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand and the UK. It is hoped the event will be introduced to many other countries in the coming years.
