Glad to see you
Welcome to the Oxfam Do-Life team blog!
Here we'll share our adventures, challenges and accomplishments as we take on the 2009 Oxfam Charity Hike.
Who are we?
We're a group of four friends, all from different walks of life, brought together by our love of challenge, nature, and doing something a bit different.
What is the Oxfam Hike?
The Oxfam hike is a 48 hour 100k hike over a vast variety of terrain.
You can check out the map here.
We'll be hiking up steep rugged mountains, past beautiful lakes, through forests, and even down the side of forest highways as we make our way from Odawara city to the finish at Lake Yamanashi.
Like most things in Japan, the hike is something that can only really be appreciated on the ground, which is why we're committed to providing photos as we train and do the main event.
What's it for?
Oxfam is a major charity organization helping developing communities throughout the world.
The Trailwalker event provides not just a physical challenge for the participants, but literally gets thousands of people involved fundraising for the Oxfam efforts throughout the world.

Why are we doing it?
Here's where things can get more personal, and each of us on the Do-Life team can speak out...
