Gemma is 20, a Dubai resident, and was told she would never walk again after a car accident 18 month ago!
WOW.
How is this trek happening? Gulf for Good and that means she also has to raise 17,000 dirhams.
Did I mention she is 20?
The Strandloper Challenge - South Africa
Difficulty - Moderate to Hard
(See scale below)
February 8th-15th, 2008
Gulf for Good’s first Charity Challenge of 2008 will take a group of participants on the ‘Strandloper Challenge’, hiking the full length of the renowned Strandloper Trail in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Those taking part will raise substantial funds for South African charities that support children affected by poverty, violence and AIDS.
Hiking the Strandloper Trail includes trekking across some rough terrain and wading across rivers, so it will be a good test of fitness and determination. It’s important that anyone considering taking part in this Challenge starts training as early as possible – the fitter you are, the more you’ll enjoy yourself.
Prospective challengers, who will need to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship to take part, will be accompanied through one of the finest landscapes in Africa by a local team of qualified guides. Those wishing to participate are advised to register now, as places are limited.
