As we get closer to the day of the big walk I though it would be nice to share the walker's profiles. A lil peek into the minds of the amazing ladies who will walk almost 500kms for charity. Putting the faces on the 10-man team behind the walk.

Everywhere is Walking Distance if you have time...

With this in mind we have decided to walk from Francistown to Gaborone. At 456km it seems like a daunting task but for a few brave souls its a challenge they have accepted. This walk is aimed at raising awareness and raising funds for the Cancer Association of Botswana. We will be embarking on this journey in an effort to show that every little bit helps, that all it takes is a little dedication and a brilliant idea.




Above is our logo which we feel signifies the whole idea behind the walk. Each step may seem like a drop in the ocean but the ocean is made up of little drops, all our efforts accumulate and make a difference.
