The 10th August saw an army captain and his sister complete a 100 mile course around London to raise money for the British Red Cross Tsunami Appeal. Bill Kawai-Calderhead completed the entire route on foot, with his sister Maia (a former JET participant) completing the 100 miles on a Boris bike by his side. So far the challenge has raised over £20,000 (including gift aid) and there is still chance to donate. http://twitter.com/#!/@fukushima100
