[QUOTE="Former member 104756, post: 1106066"] A slight tangent ... in February 2011 I walked non-stop the 100 kms Coastrek from Palm Beach to Coogee along Sydney's glorious coastline to raise money for this same charity The Fred Hollows Foundation. That was the hardest thing I had ever done - some say the first 50kms is physical, the second 50 kms is mental -and I certainly found that to be the case. About 2 months later I was listening to a night time radio program where a person was interviewed about the Camino Frances. The next morning I decided 'I'm going to do that' and so I did a few months later. The Coastrek, and the training leading up to it, gave me some confidence that I would be fine on the Camino Frances - at least the walking part. And I was. After that first 100 km trek, I swore I'd never put myself through that again ... but I did, a few times. Fred Hollows did great work, which is carried on by the Foundation that bears his name. As per above and this link, the mission is simply stated - to put an end of avoidable blindness and improve indigenous health. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hollows.org/au/home[/URL] What a wonderful adventure this young man is embarking on - and a great cause he is supporting in doing so. [/QUOTE]
