Getting a Team Together The event is open to all types of people – the past two TRAILTREKKER events have seen teams made up of family members, work colleagues, new friends and friends of old. To take part, you will need a team of four walk- ers and a Support Crew, usually one or two people who will meet you at designated check- points. Their role is to provide you with essential provisions and motivation over the weekend. Helping Others By signing up to take part in TRAILTREKKER, your team will also commit to helping to change the lives of many poor families and communities for the better. Your pledge to raise a minimum €2,000 or £2,000 in sponsorship will form a vital contribu- tion to Oxfam Ireland’s long-term work. You will be providing relief and opportunity to some of the world’s poorest communities. Ready for the toughest, most exhilerating walk of your life?
