Run4Zimbabwe: ‘Malin to Mizen’

By admin, June 23, 2009

From the southerly cliffs of Mizen Head to the northerly shores of Malin Head, EF’s longboarding friends have reached the top of Ireland! After twelve days and 385 miles, Alex, Ralf, Alfred and Peter have completed what the locals call the ‘Malin to Mizen approach.’ Well done lads!!

They received much interest from people along the way. Even had a “few nice cyclers from Scotland” donate to their tour!

We are going to try to get Alex on the phone to recap the tour. It will be great to hear about their creative advocacy and crazy adventure. So be on the look out for that! Thanks to all of you who followed their journey and expressed so much support.

Update from Ireland: Run4Zimbabwe

By admin, June 13, 2009

Our European friends got their Irish trek underway on June 7th. They pushed off from Mizen Head, Ireland’s furthest southwestern point. After nearly a full week of adventure, longboarding, and advocacy, the fellas are resting in Galway with friends. There has been great publicity surrounding their month-long boarding tour across Ireland, including coverage by Galway’s Bay FM.

If you’re wondering what this is all about, it’s quite simple really: European friends, Alex, Raif, Alfred and Peter, are “running” their longboards the length of Ireland to raise awareness about Zimbabwe’s crisis and raise support for EF’s partners at Albert Street School. Creative, fun and just down right awesome!

Keep checking back for more updates on this inspiring Run4Zimbabwe event. And in the mean time catch some of the action right here:
