Luca Cantoni’s Camino de Santiago 2014
I am so excited to be supporting Walkabout Foundation and walking 100 kilometres on the Camino de Santiago for Walkabout’s 5th Anniversary. The walk will take place from the 30th September to the 4th October 2014 where I will walk the last five days of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.
Walkabout Foundation is a charity started by siblings Luis and Carolina Gonzalez Bunster after Luis sustained a spinal cord injury which left him paralysed from the chest down. Their mission is to fund research to find a cure for paralysis and to donate wheelchairs to people in need all over the world. They’ve donated over 5,000 chairs in over 15 countries in the span of 4 years and they’ve funded millions in paralysis research.
Please donate on my page to support their amazing work!

Join us for a 15 kilometer walk on Saturday June 18th at 10:00 am (with an option of doing a shorter 5k walk) around Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James’s Park to raise money to donate wheelchairs to people in need in the developing world.
The walk will commence at Hyde Park’s Band Stand. Email [email protected] to register. You will receive all details in an email once you’ve registered.
It’s free to join the walk but we encourage participants to fundraise any amount they can, whether its £200 pounds (or $300 dollars) for an entire wheelchair or just a few pounds for wheelchair parts. KX GYM is our headline sponsor, which means 100 percent of all funds raised go directly to the cause. Here’s what the money you raise can buy:
£10 = front wheel
£21 = back rest
£30 = main frame

Charles Rabier’s 3 Peaks Challenge
Looking for a personal challeneg to make the difference.
I have decided with a group of colleagues from RBC IS London to take part in a charity challenge and raise money for Walkabout to help the one in needs with what is one of very important things in life: mobility. Some who don’t have the change like us to be able to walk and still need to be mobile but can’t affor it, a wheelchair is just a way to a new life. This is what really touched me with Walkabout and made this supreme moto to walk for those that can’t.
About the challenge…
On July 5th 2013. around 2 pm we will start surely what is the toughest UK trekking challenge: the 3 peaks in 24 hours. From Ben Navis in Scotland through to Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales, the 40 km and 3000 m ascent will be our personal challenge. Overcoming in the pain and with the help of our determination climb the 3 peaks for those that cant walk and help them to one day have a wheelchair that will change their life.
Walkabout controls the full value chain of the wheelchair from building to distribution.
200 GBP = a wheelchair
Please donate and contribute to support my challenge to give someone the chance for a new life.
Thank you for your kindness
Charles.
