Oxfam Trailwalker is a challenging endurance fundraising event in which teams of 4 complete 100km trail through mountainous terrain in less than 48 hours. In 2007, Oxfam Trailwalker have taken place in five different countries across Australia, New Zealand, China (Hong Kong), the UK and Japan.
Oxfam Trailwalker is an event that involves significant commitment, endurance and at the end of it all, a wonderful sense of achievement. Whatever role you play, by participating in this ultimate life changing event, you will be helping to make a real difference by raising funds for some of the poorest communities in the world.
The donations have been used to implement projects in many of the poorest regions of the world to help end poverty and provide vital relief following natural disasters and conflict. Please click here for the details about how collected donations have been used.
The Tanuki team has initially commited to fundraise a minimum of 120,000¥ (600£ or 765€) but as we said "only the sky is the limit". By the 3rd of April we have exceeded the 120,000¥ goal and so we have decided to raise our goal to 200,000¥ (1000£ or 1275€). By the 6th of May we have exceeded the new limit of 200,000¥ and so we raised it one more this time to 250,000¥ (1250£ or 1595€). Again, by the 23rd of May, we reached 250.000¥, so we are heading towards 300.000¥ (1500£ or 1800€). Thank you for your kind support and all contributions. We appreciate any donation given from the heart
