State Street Overcoming the Odds Award Introduced by Oxfam Trailwalker's principal sponsor State Street Corporation in 2002, the State Street Overcoming the Odds Award will also be awarded this year to an individual who has overcome many obstacles and difficulties to complete the 100km walk. The winner will receive a HK$3,900 cash award, and State Street will also donate HK$39,000 to Oxfam to support our poverty alleviation programmes around the world. In addition, the winner's team will have the priority to participate in Oxfam Trailwalker 2013.

Nominations will also be accepted. The deadline for entry is 18 December 2012. Supporting materials such as photos or videos taken during the event may be accepted as reference. For details, please refer to the Oxfam Trailwalker website in late October.
Winner of State Street Overcoming the Odds Award 2011: Fung Kam Hung Fung’s ‘Overcoming the Odds’ story began 32 years ago, when he had a traffic accident and lost the lower part of his left leg. He has maintained a healthy spirit, attitude, body and a healthy amount of courage ever since. In 2011, he challenged himself and joined Oxfam Trailwalker for the first time. When 18 November came along, he endured the rainy and muddy weather like everyone else, and also the many blisters that formed between his shin and artificial limb. It was worth it – 29 hours and 28 minutes later, he completed the whole trail with his whole team, which included two orthopedists and a nurse – his wife.
