Nepal Health Mega Marathon : 28 June 2010

Hi everyone,

We survived the "Nepal Health Mega Marathon" on the weekend .... though not quite in 24 hours ..... we walked a combined total of 360kms in 25 1/2 hours!

Was an extremely hard slog up and down those hills ... sleep deprivation, sore muscles and blisters ... but it was all worth it!

Thanks to everyone who supported us on this Challenge :)) ... special thanks to the wonderful NAFA members who supported us during the 25 hours and to everyone who celebrated our success at the post 100km hike breakfast.

Warmest regards,
Kylie

Nepal Health Mega Marathon : 21 June 2010

Namaste everyone,

It is only 5 days now until the Nepal Health Mega Marathon..... 100kms in 24hours to raise money for NAFA supported health projects in Nepal. This will be 4 laps of the 25km fire trail at Mt Glorious west of Brisbane.... it is an extremely physically challenging walk with 50kms of up and 50kms of down over the 100kms.

We've been training hard for this walk with a 50km night hike last weekend at Mt Glorious where we walked two of the circuits on the Saturday night. There weren't too many sore muscles after this so feeling pretty confident to be able to complete the whole 100kms by 8am Sunday morning. On Sunday we are having a celebratory BYO BBQ so if you are in the area call in to the Maiala Car Park!

The Nepali people, especially in remote areas, have very limited and in the majority of cases NO health care services and it can mean the difference between life and death for them.

A little bit goes along way in Nepal so any support you can give would be greatly appreciated by myself and NAFA.

Regards,
Kylie
