Green Power

It all started with Laura innocently asking "Wanna join my friends on a fundraising walk?" and ended up with a 10k trek over the Hong Kong mountains through the jungle.

To combat the unhealthy pollution and battle climate change, the good people of HK host fundraising hikes and adventure races (scaling rock walls, running across hot sands, you name it) to gather donations for Green Power, which educates kids about environmentally-friendly practices. I knew Brenda would be proud.

Below is Team Walkie-Talkie! We had the UK, South Africa, New York, Canada (I think), and even New Jersey on the trails. Laura's the 4th from the left and I'm the 3rd from the right in the blk/white stripe pants...

The starting line. All those tiny black dots in the distant horizon are the backs of people's heads. There were 3,000 of us. At times the trail was only 12" wide.
View from the hiking trail over the south side of Hong Kong Island. See? It's not all skyscrapers after all. Through the haze are some mountains rising up out of the sea.
