Walk of Life




Early one December morning a motley group of 4 started walking.
They did not know how far they would go!
But what they were interested in was doing the

“Walk of life”
Jerin, Preetham, Soham and I- Shiromi Bose have committed ourselves to walking 100 kms in 48 hours.
It is from 24th- 26th January 2014 from Bidadi to Pearl Valley Resort

Maybe we are a wee bit crazy, but it’s a lot of fun once you get started.
Walking is not easy, training for the walkathon is not easy either!
But we are doing it for a cause and of course while we train -we get fit, have fun running, cycling, walking and experience a bit more of the Bangalore roads!
It also make us feel good that doing something we enjoy also helps someone in need!
Because
It is a fund raiser walk organized by Oxfam- the Oxfam Trailwalker.
Each participating team has to raise a minimum contribution of Rs.50,000/- over the next one month.

Oxfam India's vision is to create a more equal, just and sustainable world by empowering the poor to demand their rights, engaging the non-poor to become active and supportive citizens, advocating for an effective and accountable state and making markets work for poor people. The overarching vision of Oxfam India is ‘Right to life with dignity for all’.

Help us help others, contribute to Oxfam.
