Million Kilometres for Tibet

http://www.planetultramarathon.com/millionklmsfortibet.htm

 The International Campaign for Tibet have recently launched their new website and campaign to campaign and let people know about the Human Rights Abuses that are happening in China. It is called the “Race for Tibet” and the website can be viewed at http://www.racefortibet.org/

I have been a supporter of the Tibet Cause for a few years. This got me thinking. How can the ultra world and the sporting world help highlight the Tibet problem in the leadup to the next Olympics. This is when I thought of the Million Kilometres for Tibet idea. Why don’t we try and run/walk or bike ride a million kilometres to support Tibet in the leadup to the Beijing Olympics? 

There have been nine people that have joined me so far. (their names will be added later). Their will be a tribute page connected to this that will list all the names that contribute their walking, running or cycling kilometres.   

Anyone can join individually or even Fun Runs or Marathons can send their total kilometres. So please send me an email at pessam2(at)bigpond.com  if you would like to join and perhaps help make a difference. Or send this link to anyone that might be interested!

The kilometre total will be here and it has started from 1st  November 2006 (Except for the kilometres donated by Vlastik Skvaril from his Cape York run). It will be updated on a weekly basis.

You don’t have to raise money. We are just after people to send their running/walking/cycling totals on a weekly basis. People of all abilities can help this cause in the year leading up to the next Olympics. So please email me your details at pessam2@bigpond.com and start contributing your  very important KMS to this campaign!

Due to a systems crash and change of email address, please could I also hear from existing contributors at the email address above!

Thanks.
