Relay for Life, sponsor me!

Postby [AOB]Scratch on Tue Feb 23, 2010 2:39 pm

As some of you know, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of years ago and we were lucky that it was caught early and treatment/surgery has been 100% successful with no signs of re-emergence, touch wood.

This year we have decided to enter the Relay for Life, which is a fund raiser for cancer research. I’ve entered in a team with one of Kristie’s friends, she will be doing some fund raising through Gymbaroo but as it stands I have the most donations of anyone (not hard, everyone else has $0!)

In case you don't know what the Relay is:

Cancer Council’s Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with your community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Relay For Life is a unique event where teams of 10 to 15 friends, families or colleagues challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay style walk or run overnight. There are no age limitations or fitness requirements – Relay For Life is suitable for everyone and anyone can join in the fun! Stay for the whole event, camp overnight, or just visit and enjoy the free entertainment, prizes and ceremonies that make Relay For Life so inspirational.


So basically you do a relay for 24 hours with 10-15 team members, taking turns/shifts over the whole period.

If you feel like donating, go ahead!
