Rather than coming to work today, Luke Cuthbertson, SitePoint’s CEO, is going for a walk.

SitePoint的首席执行官Luke Cuthbertson并不是今天上班，而是去散散步。

Mind you, this is not just some light stroll in the park. Luke is participating in the Oxfam TrailWalker challenge, a gruelling course that sees teams make their way on foot through 100kms (62 miles) of Australian bushland. This year, over 700 teams of four are taking part in the challenge in order to raise money for Oxfam Australia, a well-established non-profit organisation providing support programs for communities in need, both in Australia and around the world.

提醒您，这不仅仅是在公园里漫步。 卢克(Luke)参加了“ 乐施毅行者挑战赛 ( Oxfam TrailWalker)”挑战赛 ，这是一个艰苦的过程， 目睹团队步行经过100公里(62英里)的澳大利亚丛林。 今年，超过700个团队(四人一组)参加了挑战赛，目的是为乐施会澳大利亚筹款。乐施会是一家历史悠久的非营利组织，为澳大利亚和世界各地的有需要社区提供支持计划 。

What Luke and the other teams are tackling is no walkover (excuse the pun). It’s tough. Teams walk through the night and require training, blister packs, and a support crew. Walkers suffer blisters and fatigue as they battle to make it to the end of the course in less than 48 hours, all in the name of fundraising for a good cause.

卢克(Luke)和其他球队所要解决的问题就是不要走动(请问双关语)。 这很难。 团队通宵达旦，需要培训，泡罩包装和支持人员。 步行者在不到48小时内努力争取将其冲到赛道终点时会遭受水泡和疲劳，所有这些都是为了筹款。

If you’re curious how Luke is tracking, you can follow him on Twitter or get live GPS updates through Runkeeper. You can also show your support by making a donation online if you’re so inclined. Both SitePoint and 99designs have kindly contributed $500 each towards Luke’s team, and a number of individuals around the office are also sponsoring Luke’s walk. They’ve managed to raise over $3,000 to date, which is a fantastic achievement.

如果您对Luke的跟踪方式感到好奇，可以在Twitter上关注他或通过Runkeeper获取实时GPS更新。 如果您愿意，也可以通过在线捐款表示支持。 SitePoint和99designs都分别向Luke的团队捐款500美元，办公室周围的一些个人也赞助了Luke的步行。 迄今为止，他们已经筹集了超过3,000美元，这是一个了不起的成就。

On behalf of everyone in the office, best of luck Luke!

代表办公室中的每个人，祝您好运Luke！

Update: It seems Luke’s phone is out of battery, so the real-time updates and tweets have stopped. You can still keep up with Luke’s team’s progress on the Oxfam web site. People have also reported difficulties donating online—if you’re interested in supporting this worthy cause, please keep trying.

更新：似乎卢克的手机没电了，因此实时更新和鸣叫声已经停止。 您仍然可以在乐施会网站上了解卢克团队的进展情况。 人们还报告了在线捐赠的困难-如果您有兴趣支持这一有价值的事业，请继续尝试。

Update: Two of Luke’s team members made it to the end. Unfortunately Luke had to bow out at the 93 km checkpoint—only 7 kms from the end!

更新：卢克(Luke)的两名团队成员做到了这一点。 不幸的是，卢克不得不在93公里检查站屈服-距离终点仅7公里！
