All Over Red Rover
Daniel, Sam I, Sam D and I would like to thank you so much for your support and generosity. We were truly humbled by the generosity, kind words and strong support that we have received from you over the last few months...whether it was a word of encouragement in passing, an email, an on-line donation, the support of the Social Club or telephone call it made a huge difference to us - in our preparation and on the day. Because of your help - it was a huge success. When all the money comes in, we will have raised over $5000.00 dollars to aid people living in poverty in Australia and around the world. The combined total from all the teams and sponsors should be somewhere around 3 million dollars - not bad for a quiet stroll around the Dandenong's on the weekend! A Big Oxfam Trailwalker was one of the toughest things each of us have ever done. We all battled our demons, aching muscles, sleep deprivation, exhaustion and blisters. With Sam I, Sam D and Daniel all completing the 100 km - in just over 25 hours. As a team we firmly believe that things would have been a lot tougher without the help of our support crew - Andrew, Thea, Neil and Lonne and a special visit from Jeff too. Our support crew were simply amazing - coming into the checkpoints and seeing them with the chairs laid out, our supplies ready, apples peeled, oranges and bananas cut and Thea's moroccan chicken soup was like arriving at a 5 star resort after an arduous journey. A special mention to Andrew Mcphail - who stayed with us during the night, trying to get an hours sleep in the back of a very cramped car - packed with all of the thoughtful supplies he purchased for us leading up to the event. Andrew even walked the last stage to add extra support and bring the boys in when things started to get really tough.

Time to toughen up!
Sat - 30th Jan Our first long walk in our brief training history started last Saturday 30th Jan at Albert Park Lake. We covered an impressive 28km's in 4 hours!!!!, with Carl and Sam D setting a blinding pace. Unfortunately for Sam I and Daniel this blistering pace turned out to very blistering indeed! We're now in the process of healing our wounds ready for this Saturday's session at the 'Tan" around the Botanical Gardens. We have received many generous donations over the week and wish to pass on a big thanks to everyone who has supported the many disadvantaged people both in Australia and around the world. Thanks "Team Oce"

Our Mission
We're taking part in Oxfam Trailwalker, a 100km endurance walk from Wheelers Hill to Wesburn, overnight, in teams of four, through the Australian bush. We're doing all this to raise money for Oxfam Australia, who work to fight poverty and injustice in 26 countries around the world, including Indigenous Australia. Take a look around at our space, and check out the places and people that Oxfam Australia helps.

To walk 100 km in 48 hours is but a small discomfort - to live in poverty is a lifetime of struggle
