Re: Sponsored Walk Siem Reap - Sihanoukville
Congrats to Charlie on completing his walk.
Sadly I was working yesterday when he completed it finishing at the Ochheuteal Guesthouse where there was a good turn out to welcome him back and rub tiger balm into his feet.
I have been told he has raised $2700 so far for the school plus there is a more to be be added to that.
Plus a big thank you to the Ochheuteal Guesthouse for their input to the event.

Good on him, but lack of interest in a sponsored walk?!?! No surprise really. It's just walking. I remember hearing about a guy swimming for 24 hrs handcuffed off Sihanoukville, and another guy riding a cyclo across the country, both for charity.Hotdigr wrote:Fukn AWESOME effort from Charlie!!!

Good to hear he raised some cash for a good cause though.

Reminds me of a Bayon Pearnik article from May 2003.
A guy called Kristian Duncan rode a Chaly moto from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh wearing a dress.
The trip took just over 8 hours and raised more than $300 for charity.
