My 3 team mates and I raised $2500 to tackle the root causes of poverty, inequity and help people to create self reliant and sustainable communities in developing countries. We are all very excited to be a part of this event and even more excited to impact the lives of those less fortunate around the world.
What does one bring on such an endeavour? Below is our prep list. You never know when it may come in handy for you!
Clothes:
Extra shirts (1 or 2)
Socks (10 pairs)
Underwear
Raincoat
Shorts or long pants
Accessories:
Hat
Shoes
Towel
Deodarant
Camel Back (bladder)
Sports bag
Head lamp
Batteries
Poles
Blanket (I'm bringing the foil blankets that I've saved from previous marathons! They work amazingly well to keep the body warm)
Medical:
Tylenol (or any aspirin that works for that individual)
Painkillers
Mosquito repellent
Muscle cream (bengay, etc)
Wraps
Band aids
Vaseline, body glide
Vitamins (B12!)
Sunscreen
Nutrition:
Energy drinks (not for me, but they work for some people)
Cheese (string cheese are great for a quick snack and so easy!)
Yogurt or priobotic drinks
Trail mix
Bananas
Apples
Grapes
Dates (Dhairyia has a famous recipe!)
Electrolytes (Powerade works best for me as does Vitamin Water)
Each individual will have their items placed in a "bag" which will be carried to each check point (of which their are 9) by our lovely support team. This will enable us to carry water and light snacks only to stay light on our feet as we walk the Ganaraska Trail!
Stay tuned for the outcome of this physically and mentally challenging event!
Stay active and anything is possible!
