FrankForce on the move!

A good friend of Frank (and me) has a simple request and a lovely idea. I would like to share it with you all. -- Andre.

Dear family and friends of Frank. Saturday the 3rd of September 2011 there will be the yearly Airborne March in Oosterbeek, the Netherlands (www.airbornewandeltocht.nl/en). Frank has walked this march almost every year for a long time. And I would like him to participate this year too. As Frank and I have already done this with a wheelchair bound person a few years back, I do not think it will be much of a problem to get a group together and join Frank on his march (and take turns pushing the wheelchair). To make it easy on everybody, I propose to walk the 10 kilometer march. This is the busiest one, but doable in about 3 hours (you have to navigate the traffic (other walkers) and that makes for some slow going). I would like to go as a group (FrankForce), so I need at least 9 other people in order to get a group of sufficient size. It is a nice walk through some of the most beautiful countryside in the Netherlands. And the cost for the march is reasonable, just € 5,50 per person (€ 5,-- if you have a KNBLO\NWB membership pass).
If you are interested, please e-mail me, with your name and how often you have walked the Airborne March before (for the medal that you get afterwards) and mention FrankForce in the subject of the e-mail.
About mid august I will then mail the details about how late (or early) to be where in Oosterbeek, on Saturday the 3rd of September.

See you in Oosterbeek.
