Pals Vini Williams and Jack Keeys aren t the sort to sit around with their feet up.
The ex-Paeroa friends decided to put their tootsies to the test and raise money for underprivileged children by walking barefoot for 100km in five days and they ve just returned.
Their actual time due to unforeseen circumstances turned out to be 113km in 101 hours but the pair are proud as punch and have raised nearly $10,000.
