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.

Hello everyone! Thank you for leaving a comment & passage on my blog. It was very nice. I wish you well on your upcoming trip. Now, off to read your entire blog!
How thoughtless of me to forget to say the following:
Buen Camino y Ultreya!
dg in Texas
Ann, Jean & Dot wish Syl, Val, Kathy, Rayna & Marion a safe & wonderful journey.
Hope today was easier than yesterday. God bless you all. Rosie
You Go Girls! We are proud of you. A million steps is "all" you have to do, to cheer-up a child or two.
All the pain is not in vein, as a lot of children stand to gain. Have a drink on us, as soon there will be X-mas "teddies" on the Homenet Bus.
A Zillion thanks for a Million Steps (x5).
Luv
xxxxX
