James McGill is participating in Harrow Hong Kong Long Ducker 2017 – fundraising on behalf of 6 charities - Crossroads Foundation Limited - Plastic Free Seas Limited - The Society for Community Organisation Limited (Soco) - InspiringHK Sports Foundation Limited - Operation Smile - Pencils of Promise Inc (POP)
and is fundraising for Harrow International School Foundation Limited

On Saturday March 11th I will be attempting the Long Ducker for the first time. The Long Ducker is charitable event where I along with many others will attempt to complete a 15.5km trek, part of the Macklehose Trail. As well as a great way to see Hong Kong the Long Ducker also allows me to raise money for 6 Hong Kong charities.

My Story

2017 will be my first attempt at the Long Ducker, so ahead of the event I've been putting in a lot intense training so I can successfully complete the 15.5km trail.
My Dad and I recently walk up High Junk Peak so that taught me to look after old people while you are on a long walk.  My Dad needed a few pits stops to catch his breath.
I just came back off my school camp where we walked up Sharp Peak at 4am in the morning.  Camp taught me that I like to stay in bed until at least 7.
Finally I've been working hard on my orientation skills.  For example at home I now know how to get from my bedroom to the kitchen with my eyes closed when I want a late night snack.  The trick is practice, practice, practice.
So I think I am well prepared for the Long Ducker.  I'll report back on how I do!
