The Relay for Life - its ON (help!)
I need to let everyone know as soon as possible - this is very serious indeed. My good friend Andy Coote (from the Business League) and his wife Angela have co-opted me into putting together a team in the Relay for Life. For this I NEED YOUR HELP! The relay is a 24 hour walk by a team at any pace at all, in this instance round (and round) Penryn Rugby pitch. The date is July 26th and 27th - the last weekend in July.
Now I should also mention that it is in a very good cause: supporting Cancer research in the UK, and therefore saving potentially thousands of lives.
.. Even some very close to us, quite possibly.
...Even me quite possibly, given that I got over Leukaemia 10 years ago - most probably using drugs and techniques developed by Cancer Research in the UK.
So I have every reason to go and walk round that Rugby pitch for as long as it takes.
You however may well not have had Leukaemia or any similar ailments, and good luck to you because you wouldn't want one of those. But we all know that "There by the grace of God go I", and we all share that fear that ourselves or someone close to us will have to deal with the big C at some point in our lives.
So the point of all this of course is come along, walk around that Rugby pitch with us - and contrary to the slightly sombre note that I seem to have struck I feel it will be a cracking good day. Apart from a beer tent and pasties I am told there will be "a variety of activities" to keep it interesting, and to help the hardy few (me and my "Praetorian guard" I suspect) traipsing through the long hours of the night.
There will be a page on Just Giving .com I think - I must set one up for the team - I'll blog it here to let you know the address. A hardy few have already signed up, we have Jonathan from Arwen design in Truro, Kara from Black Cat PR (plus flat mates), Jason from Well Fit, and a few other volunteers already, after only 2 days of light press-gang activity.
Do contact me via the web site if you're interested, or have a look at http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/relay/ which should tell you everything else you would like to know about the event. At present our team is called the "Falmouth Business League Team", but should other groups, associations want to either join up or create their own teams, they will of course be most welcome. We need 10 to 20 people to make it a viable team, so....
