Oxfam Trailwalker




We did it, thanks to help from lots of friends and family!

Here are photos of the start of the walk, dawn, dusk and the morning after (when we finished). The final photo is of our support team, without whom we would not have finished!

We completed the 103-KM track in under 30 hours, and we raised $4347 - more than twice our original goal. Thanks to the following friends and family members who donated (in addition to several anonymous donations):

Angela An, Christian and Jennifer Bolanos, Gina Bonifacino, Victoria Dew, Nina Dillon, Andy Evans, Anne Marie Healey (Mom), David Healey and family, Susan Welch (sister) and family, Joe Healey and family, Mark Healey and family, Evan and Jenny Haas, Josh Hall and Joanna Kind, Jennifer Jansen (in Australia), Katie Kaku, Robert Mann-Thompson, Caryn Muellerleile, Ernesto Muñoz(in Ecuador), Enrique Paulin, Andrea Salzburg, Fatai Shieh, Jeremy Shuman, Tricia Gorland Siaso, Phillippa Smith, Bruce Taylor, Lola Toppin, Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Hearts Club (neighborhood bar in Washington DC), Jessie Watrous, Ryan Wells, and Anita Williams.

To give an idea of what your donations may have accomplished for people in need:

(1) nutritional meals for 21,735 children (at $1 per group of 5 children)
(2) 725 chickens (at $6 each)
(3) 869 ducks (at $5 each)
(4) 4,347 planted trees (at $1 each)
(5) safe water for 2,717 people (at $1.60 per person)

Thanks for being a part of this fundraiser!
