Hi everyone...
ive done a tiny bit of research about the 2 runs pete and i (and hopefully a few of you) can get involved with...They are:
Leg it for Leukaemia - They have 2 runs in 2009,
1. Albert Lake (Melbourne) on Sunday 15th Feb 9.30am - 11.30am or
2. Guthridge Lake (Sale) on Sunday 1st Feb 9.30 - 11.30am
You can download an entry form from www.leukaemia.org.au or just get in touch with me if you are keen. The walk/run is NOT timed, rather a celebration of your own health or for loved ones, survivors, carers or even medical staff - a chance to acknowledge the important people in the cancer journey...
All money raised will assist the Leukaemia Foundation to fund vital research and provied free services to patients and their families.
Cost:
$25 for individuals
$50 team (4 people)
Again, just give me a hoy if you are keen to be involved! Pete and i will DEFINITELY be at sale...
The 2nd Run/Walk:
Sunday 5th April - Run for the Kids.
A chance to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
There are all sorts of entry costs etc, and you can find out more if you head to:
www.runforthekids.com.au
Again, if you have ANY questions, please give us a hoy and we will help you through it...Thanks again to steph for putting us onto this one as well...
There is another one which is on Mothers Day in Melbourne and raises money for Breast Cancer and is usually a great day. We will post more info on this as it comes to light...
Anyways...lots to think about, run/walk it really is all heaps of fun to be amongst it all, getting out in the fresh air and knowing you are contributing to not only your own well being, but for those that are affected in some ways by these diseases...
we would also love to take the opportunity to wish you all a very merry and safe christmas and new year whatever you are doing. Its going to be bloody tough for some of you (including us). Just do what you feel like doing, and do it in your own time.
Thankyou again to all of you who continue to keep an eye out for us with 'welfare' checks, and messages of love and support, particularly at this time. We really do appreciate it.
We will catch you soon.
luv, hugs, pressies and sunshine (and a bit of rain!)
