HEELS ON FIRE- Launch
26th April 2006, London, U.K.

 

Well in case you've forgotten the faces of the “Heels on Fire” frontrunners already and their ardent supporters, take a look at some of snapshots of the launch party on the eve of the team's departure from London. There was lot of mingling between an entire spectrum of people spanning sports enthusiasts, development professionals, art enthusiasts or then friends just plainly driven by the desire and curiosity to be a part of a group that was infectiously determined to set out on this mystical adventure. 

Tied together by the enthusiasm of a task the many 'like minds' set the room abuzz with a resonating mix of anxiety, perplexion, interest and enthusiasm (and yes that was before the sambucas were bought!).

Congratulations to all who helped organise the event and many thanks of course to those who came to show their support. The room was packed with friends and family of Pete and Rahul as well as many others from all the wider networks made, all there to hear about the big adventure!

Though Dez couldn't be there, rest assured that he was impressively represented in spirit , with his intriguing style of photography projected as the backdrop.

The night seemed to also inspire a strange sweep of fate, when we discovered Rahul and Pete's mums, who had only just met were ' the original intrepid travelers’. They had had their tryst with India way back in the sixties, driving overland to India from Europe in their Morris Minors. Well, Forty odd years later History repeats itself, the travel bug lives on and generation next shall add to the families repertoire with all of us cheering, making it bigger and larger than life we hope!!!

All round, a great kick off!
