My image of stage one is of determination and perseverance as some push beyond physical limits and others face, head-on, severe fears, all held together by the spirit of the team and the direction, continually reaffirmed in Olivia’s simple, inspiring words and song.
My image of stage one is of a myriad of threads moving forward together with great momentum:
- A thread of determination and perseverance as some push beyond physical limits and others face, head-on, severe fears (like of heights and of falling)
- Grief, anger, resolution, which touches walkers who have lost loved ones to cancer
- Concern and guilt about children and partners at home, especially when communication is so difficult
- The celebration of being here, the humour, and warmth of getting to know people at their most human
- The uncertainty of what will unfold next, in a place where things seem to run in a different time context
- The pressure of so much to be done as we’ve shifted our focus from getting here, to drawing in sponsorship
- Incredible busy-ness – phones and Blackberries chiming as we walk, laptops booting up on the bus or in any spare moment
- All somehow held together by the spirit of the team and the direction, continually reaffirmed in Olivia’s simple, inspiring words and song.
