Hi there all you lovely Chi buddies,
This is my formal, official request for support (of the financial kind) for our 2008 Oxfam Trailwalk Challenge attempt. Some of you will know already that I've been training hard all year to enter this extreme cross-country walk event.
Basically our team of four intrepid walkers (photo taken at Bethells Beach on Good Friday below), are going to participate in the 2008 Oxfam Trailwalk charity drive by walking a one hundred kilometre long track together in 36 hours or less. The event is scheduled for the 5 and 6th April and takes place in and around Taupo which is about a 4 hour drive south of Auckland, New Zealand.
Our physical preparation, stamina, endurance, sacrifice (and a bit of enjoyment added to the mix) hopefully is the trigger that inspires you to make a contribution to the charity organisation Oxfam via our webpage. That and the fact that I'm begging you to help, and you're all delighted to be part of something so worthwhile and positive with me (and Sam, Margaret and Beck.)
All contributions no matter how modest or small or insignificant you may think them, will combine together for us to achieve our target of raising $2500 for Oxfam this year.
You can make your donations by credit card online from our webpage. Here is the link:

Once you've opened this page, you will see a large green button with the legend "Team Fundraising: make a donation" There you will be able to enter your credit card details and leave us a short message (if you can't be bothered to type a witty or encouraging comment, at least please add your name or your Chi pseudonym so we know where our support came from).
Note that amount you select to donate on our behalf is in NZ dollars. If you are not in New Zealand, you will need to use a currency converter to figure out how much money this will cost you in your own country. This currency converter is easy to use:

I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions pop up, together with suitable comments questioning our sanity, on our webpage. Oxfam are keen for this to happen too!
Happy Easter!
Lots and lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Bobbi,
