Solidarity Event "Unterwegs Gegen Krebs"

On 29th May the Swiss Cancer League (Krebsliga Schweiz) hold their 2010 solidarity event in their centennial year

"Unterwegs gegen Krebs" - ("on the way against cancer", sounds better in German) is a 2 part event. The first, morning, stage is walking from various locations (e.g. - Dietikon) in to 14 major towns (e.g. - Zurich) where there is a regional solidarity event. The walks vary from 2 to 4 hours (the Dietikon-Zurich route is 3.25 hours)

The second stage is a train into Bern at around 14:00 for the big afternoon event.

Carol and I will be donning our T-Shirts and walking boots for the first stage of the event from Dietikon to Zurich

Unfortunately will not be doing the Bern trip because to the AGM of the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) Swiss branch expects my attendance in the afternoon (not to mention the AGM dinner later).

If anybody is interested in walking with us (or without us) register at http://www.krebsliga.ch (German, French and Italian only) and drop a comment on this posting. If you should go on to Bern you get a chance to stick a solidarity note on a big pin board ....

And, of course, if you prefer to attend any of all of the IET events (except the AGM unless you are a member) on that day instead of living it up in Bern; Carol, me and the rest of the IET people would love to see you there.
