The Naremburn Walking Schoolbus wish me all the best

The Naremburn Walking Schoolbus wish me all the best

Every Friday morning I take my turn walking a bunch of neighbourhood kids to school (as well Maggie the Labrador and Jemby the Golden Retriever). It’s great to get out in the morning air, get some exercise, save some car miles, and observe kids in their natural element (Dads usually only get to observe them on a sporting field or at a birthday party.)

This Friday I’ll be doing Oxfam Trailwalker Sydney — 100km of rough bush tracks, which will hopefully take me and the team about 24-26 hours.

…the kids will be walking to school with another parent.

But check this out — they sent home this card for me, complete with band-aids, and signed by every one of them.

I’m so touched! How can I not do well with this kind of support and motivation?

Thanks kids, and thanks mums too (I’m sure you had something to do with it!)

Update: follow my personal and team progress throughout the event near-live from 7am Friday 28th AEST here on the cool Oxfam Trailwalker Team Tracker for Team 158. And ping your responses back to @bigyahu on Twitter or SMS on +61414987069. Cheers!
