OST Goes Barefoot
OST is really excited to be joining with 3 other UK charities in support of the ‘Fire Poet’, Philip Wells as he embarks on the ‘Barefoot Billion’ challenge, a 1,000 mile barefoot walk from Land’s End to Anglesey.
OceanStars :: Monday 31st March 2014 :: This Story
Philip aims to follow in the footsteps of the bards, Romans, Neolithic dreamers and all who have trod these paths in the past to raise awareness of the plight of the 1,000,000,000 children and people of this world who live their lives 'barefoot' or in poverty.
Philip sets out from Land's End on 22nd April and aims to arrive on Anglesey on 15th August. OST will be supporting him for a four week period from 27th May until 24th June. There will be lots of opportunities for people to become involved - watch out for further details of his route and events along the way!!
