ADVENTURE for a Cause

"If there is one last great African journey, this might be it:
160 miles of wildest Kenya, a trek done in the style of the old explorers,
a pack of seriously ornery camels, and one really good cause"

-Tim Cahill, National Geographic Adventure magazine, September 2005

Welcome to the Proper Walk website. This site is dedicated to the continuing fundraising, education, and adventure that is the essence of the Proper Walk.

The Proper Walk is an "adventure for a cause" created by Michael Farley, a former Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Makindu, Kenya East Africa. The Proper Walk is a biannual event that raises money for the Makindu Children's Program (MCP), a 501c-3 supporting the MCC (Makindu Children's Centre). The MCC is a day use facility that cares for more than 400 AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children in Makindu.

Proper Walk 2008 is the fourth walkathon. Each walker raises a minimum of $10,000 and pays their own way to walk in the Northern Frontier of Kenya to assist the AIDS orphans of Makindu and to help raise AIDS awareness.

Proper Walk 2008 is complete with 151 tough miles and over $80,000 raised. To read about this year's "adventure for a cause" click here.

Please, consider donating to this worthy cause.
