In June and July of 2006, five South African women (average age 55 years) walked ± 700kms along the old VF pilgrimage trail from Switzerland to Rome. They raised over R50 000 for Homenet Children's Charities. This is their story - written on their blog in towns and villages along the way.

A Million Step for Childrens Charities
The VF Five are walking to Rome - with a purpose - to raise at least R50 000 for Children's Charities through HOMENET A million steps trivia: Each pilgrim will walk ± 700kms (getting there, walking, hiking, sightseeing, getting lost!) The girls each have an average step length of 75cm. Multiply this by 700kms and they will each take ± 933,333 steps on their way to Rome - almost 1 MILLION steps each or 5m steps altogether.
