Getting More Ready Every Day
16/02/22 09:42
I've done a couple more practice walks since my last post.
For the 4th walk I was joined my cousin Boineelo.
We walked 16 km in 5 hours. It was her first walk therefore the pace was not the usual one. All in all it was nice to have someone walk with me and break the cycle of talking to myself.
With just a month and a few days to go, we are slowly getting ready for the full 252 km.
It’s a bit frightening that I will do the walk in 7 consecutive days,
I worry if my body will handle it all without rest days in-between.
I guess we shall see!
And our good friend Sydney Baker has set up a Go Fund Me page so that we can receive donations:

My second practice walk in preparation for the 252 km.
I walked with Mosepele Hiking Club on a rainy day and it was a brilliant experience.
Walking is not easy as it has a toll on your body; the weather also throws in some challenges. I did not pray for the rain and I was soaked from head to toe. I wore the wrong shoes, I had no rain coat , I did not bring a change of clothes.
But I did complete the 20 Km circuit and I was smiling at the end of the walk! I meet new people each time I do a hike and it’s amazing how I get support from all the hiking clubs.
The preparations for the 252 Km are going well and I hope more people will see and read about the project, so that they are able to help us purchase enough sanitary pads for our girls in need
