SMALL BEGINNINGS

Once we moved to our new house in Mt Albert, Brent and I started a daily tradition, walking to the top of Mt Albert and back. I don't know how it came about but from this small beginning, and our desire to 'pay it forward' we found ourselves registered to complete the Oxfam Trailwalk - 100km in 36hrs. (for more info see the Oxfam Trailwalker Link on our list of favourite sites). This blog will be a record of our training, trials and tribulations and eventual completion of said task. As well as the physical side of this endeavour, each team is required to fundraise for Oxfam to the tune of at least $2500, however the more money we are able to raise the better. Oxfam are very visible wherever there is help required after a major tragedy such as the recent Tsunami in Samoa and the Earthquake in Haiti. So... this is a majorly good cause to be supporting; a chance for us to test ourselves, physically and mentally and for you all to share vicariously through our blog and hopefully this will inspire you to become involved yourselves or just get moving!
