May. Three hundred teams will take in part in Oxfam Trailwalker Sydney 2001, pledging an astonishing half a million dollars to Oxfam Community Aid Abroad.
Event organisers are astounded at the number of advance registrations.
Oxfam Trailwalker Sydney will be a tough field, with at least three international teams competing. The Cosmo Boys, winners of the last three Hong Kong Trailwalker events, and two other Gurkha teams have also registered for the event. All money raised from Oxfam Trailwalker Sydney goes to Australia's leading aid agency, Oxfam Community Aid Abroad. The organisation works for social justice and the alleviation of poverty through funding development projects in over thirty countries around the world, including Indigenous Australia.
