In April, Manuel and a few of our friends (Neil, Phil, and Sandra) are participating in the Oxfam Trailwalker challenge as a team with the goal of walking 100 Km in less than 36 hours. Their goal is actually to do it 22 hours!! People, this is 100 Km - over SIXTY MILES - in 22 hours. They will not sleep, they will just walk. Me and Michelle and Vanessa will be the support van and make sure they have food and water and dry socks at all the checkpoints, etc. And cheer them on when they look tired :)
The money donated goes to Oxfam Foundation New Zealand, which in turn goes out to help poor communities - read more about it here
If you'd like to help Manuel raise his money (each participant must raise at least $500), then go here to donate to team "These boots are made for walkin'"

Hey, tell Manuel I can send him some cab money so he won't have to walk!! My best time for a 10K (6.2 miles) was 54 minutes, so he should be able to do it in less than 10 hours at that rate (probably not). Can we donate from here?
haha I'll tell him about the cab idea... he might just take you up on that! You can donate by clicking on the team website in the post and then clicking on the donate button. Make sure to tell all your friends!
