Reply ReportThought I'd share some of their journey so far from their blog:
"Day 1&2, 75 km covered, status: blistered broken and ready for bed.
So yesturday we left from the oprah house, the journey has begun! Just want to give a big shout out to the inspire/ reach out crew for a their support! And Mari and Eric for being so supportive and housing us for the last couple of days.
So yesturday we started walking at 8:30am ish.. And arrived in Palm Beach at 8:30pm... We did stop for an hour or two during the day but... It was a massive day!!! I hit the wall 3/4 through the day... Ouch... Matt was pumping through it along with Jack but by the time we finished we were all hurting... Anyone got a new pair of feet I can borrow!!! The best thing out of the day was finding out our efforts hads not gone unrewarded, the media picked up the story and ran with it. Channel 9, 10 in nsw, front page brisbane times and page 5 of the Sun-herald qld edition. So that shows us that it's all worth while..."
Sounds exhausting - the amazing things people do to raise awareness for Reach Out!
Keep going guys - we're thinking of you :)
