Hello,
Tomorrow I will be leaving to go to Germany - on Rollerblades. The total distance is 593 miles and I am hoping to reach my final destination - Heckholzhausen, Germany- within 12 days... doing 55 miles a day.
So if you are reading this you are probably wondering why I am doing this! Well, I have decided to do this in order to raise money for The Murry Foundation (charity number 1119245). The Murry foundation is a non for profit, non salary taking organization. Its founder and Chairman is Mr Adam Murry. Its main objectives are constructing and maintaining orphan children schools and land acquisitions around the world. In September 2006, The Murry Foundation was established as only one of a handful of internationally recognized and respected institutions in Nepal and subsequently through its partner charity, The Bill Jordan Foundation for Wildlife (registered charity number 1109575), received the highest award for the best wildlife conservation organization. The Murry Foundation also provides help to orphaned children by building education centres, and funds rural, sustainable development, enabling the people to build their economy in a manner that respects the wildlife and protects the habitat. The Murry foundation also supports like minded charities and other non-profit organisations such as The Bill Jordan Foundation for Wildlife, San Wild and Home and Abroad Animal Welfare.
I am also dedicating this to my best friend -Tim Jung - who died rollerblading 4 years ago. Tim and I were so close, he was like my little brother. Therefore I am doing this event in his memory.
By writing this blog I would like to keep those of you, who are interested, updated on my progress.
I hope you enjoy reading about it,
Eva

You are big in my eyes Eva! I think it will be hard, especially 5th and 9th day. But as they say: "The worth of life lies in the power of our hands to help others". Taking this first step you are showing that you are someone more than just a typical Ms Miller or whatever other popular German surname is.
Best luck and I am going to read this everyday.
