LONG WALK FOR LEUKODYSTROPHY
Follow ExplorOz Member John Olsen via EOTrackMe as he walks Australia diagonally (from Cape York to Cape Leeuwin), before a final short stroll to Perth to raise awareness and funds for Leukodystrophy Australia. John anticipates the Long Walk will take 5-6 months to complete.
John has already completed two crossings; the first, in 2004 (North to South) and the second, in 2008, (West to East and then 1,800 km home to Geelong on foot). John is believed to be the first (certainly solo and without support crew) to complete the diagonal crossing of Australia on foot.
This final Long Walk is also about John setting personal goals, but the primary purpose is to raise funds for Leukodystrophy Australia. John’s partner, Vida, died of the severe condition (that affects both children and adults) early in 2014 and so John is walking in Vida's memory.
Please tweet #wheresjohn in support, and if you see him, share some photos.
