As of April 11th ( the latest available figures ) Oxfam Japan has received more than 5.8 million yen in sponsorship from the 197 participating Trailwalkers teams. Thats about 57,000 US dollars or more than 25,000 UK pounds.
Sponsors of the Snailwalkers team have contributed more than 10% of the total !
So thankyou all. It’s not a sponsorship competition but its still a great achievement. There are some amazingly generous people out there. We still have some time left, and remain a bit short of our own target. So we’ll continue to annoyhumbly ask friends, family, colleagues, and random acquaintances for contributions.
This is what it is about.
Gents … we are doing great … 2nd place as far as fund raising … and I still have to do a bit more matching to reach my committed $2000. Let’s keep it up … I fully expect us to reach GBP5000 … and certainly more if we push hard … Nice going !!!
