« on: March 09, 2016, 06:19:30 AM »
RACE FOR LIFE 2016 – SUNDAY 1ST MAY 2016
Following the success of last years inaugural Fethiye Race For Life, the first of its kind in Turkey, it has been decided to hold the 2016 Race for Life on Sunday 1st May 2016 at 10am starting at the Culture Centre in Fethiye.   
As last year, the race is being held to raise funds for diagnose and treatment in the Fethiye area.   It is hoped that this years event will raise enough to purchase a Bronchospy equipment for the Fethiye Devlet Hospital.
This year 176,000 people in Turkey will discover they have cancer. Thats 500 people a day.
In our area, Fethiye, 200 people who are healthy today will be diagnosed with cancer by this time next year.
On 12th April 2015 the first ever fundraising 5km event to raise money to beat cancer in Fethiye was held.
This year’s event will be on 1st May 2016 at 10am starting at the Culture Centre in Fethiye.
For those who do not know 176,000 people in Turkey will discover they have cancer.  That is 500 people per day.    In our area, Fethiye that means 200 people who are healthy today will be diagnosed with cancer by this time next year.     By joining in this event and paying a small entry fee you will be helping the hospital fight this disease.
The event is being held on Sunday 1st May 2016 at 10am which is a 5km Race starting at The Culture Centre, along Fethiye Kordon and back.   The Adults Race will begin at 10am and this will then be followed by the Children’s  Race.   
By participating and paying a small entrance fee of 15tl, 5tl for children and collecting sponsors it is hoped that enough money will be raised to purchase the much needed equipment.
The money is to be used in Turkey for awareness, research and treatment of cancer.
Your support is needed once again, please join us and please spread the word.
Many thanks to FETAV for enabling this event to take place and giving the necessary permissions to fund raise legally.
Registration forms and t-shirts can be purchased from FETAV Office in Fethiye. The cost of the t-shirts are 20tl each and sizes are S, M, L and X-Large.      Registration forms and t-shirts are available from Ankavet from Tuesday 8th March 2016; they will also be available from Fig Charity Shop, Animal Aid Charity Shop and 3c’s Charity Shop.
