I just wanted to bring your attention to an amazing young man, Ewen Hardie, who is walking barefoot from Edinburgh to London to raise awareness of the plight of the Burmese people.
He is carrying with him only bare essentials. “It is my hope that my walk will allow me to continue to experience and to highlight the kindness of strangers. I do not intend to carry money on my journey. I am confident that I can survive on what I carry with me but it is my conviction that this will not be necessary.”
“I hope to arrive in London around the 8th of August – the twentieth anniversary of the 1988 massacre in Burma that ended the last uprising against the Junta”

The background to his journey is here
You can read how he is progressing on his blog barefeet for burma
He’s doing amazingly well at the moment.
