Oxfam Trailwalker - The "Sockranos" Team

On April 5-6, three colleagues of mine will join me on a 100-km (62 mile) walk to raise funds for Oxfam to help overcome poverty and injustice. Our team, The Sockranos, must complete the full walk in under 36 hours and we must raise a minimum of $2000 (not including the $625 entry fee and expenses for the weekend that will come out of our pockets).

If you are interested in learning more, check out the event website.

If you would like to donate to our team (with a credit card), please, please, please click here. 10-20 cents per kilometer can go a long way. To give you some indication your money will buy:

• $10 - nutritional meals for 50 children
• $12 - a pair of chickens
• $15 - three ducks
• $25 - will plant 25 trees
• $80 - will provide safe water for 50 people

Note: These are based on New Zealand dollars, and the U.S. Dollar is doing well against the New Zealand dollar ($1 NZD = $0.78 USD). So, a $25 NZD donation is actually just under $20 USD.
