Our personal message:

We did it!!!   All four of us completed the course in 26 hours 18 minutes. 

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us to date but please keep giving as we still have a way to go to achieve our £10,000 goal.

Why A.O.B?  Well the 4 of us usually reach Any Other Business at the end of quite long Oxfam Council meetings. This Trailwalker Team is made up of 2 members of the Oxfam Corporate Management Team and two Trustees, including the Chair. Average age? Don't ask... but it's less than the 100 km we will be traversing on July 18th/19th. Combined age? A lot more than 100!

Anyway this year we decided to put our feet where our fund-raising drive is, so we are begining to train hard(er).....so please sponsor us now! 
 
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Oxfam Trailwalker gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Many thanks for your interest - and potential generosity!Cathy, Phil, Andy & John
