Caroline Williams has a special reason for running Trans Britain, in her own words...............

In 2000 I became friends with a kid in Delhi named Champu He has always earnt his living working on the streets, but with the “clean up” campaign for the Commonwealth Games his livelihood is at stake.  He is now a young man with children and is trying to save up to buy an auto rickshaw with which he would have a secure job for life. It will take him years to do that, and at the moment it is getting harder and harder for him to even earn the money he needs to get through each day.  Our paths crossing back then provided me with a priceless experience of India and an incredible insight into humanity. I want that crossing of paths to be of practical help to him too. I want to help him buy his rickshaw.................

I realised I had to do something big to inspire people to donate enough money so I am going to attempt the 6 Day, 156 Mile Trans Britain which, seeing as when I had the idea in Feb 2010 my running totalled about 8 miles a week,  seems a big enough challenge!!

Friends have also offered to do their own fund raising events, details of which can be found on the fund raising page. If you feel you would like to donate please go to www.justgiving.com/whenpathscross
