Race for Life - Turkey
« on: February 04, 2015, 18:43:15 PM »
At the outset I should say that I am posting this on behalf of the Race for Life – Turkey and in memory of Rachel.
 
Regular members might know what cancer means to Brenda and I. It will, tragically, mean as much to very many members on here. So when Rimms asked me to help with the Race for Life in Turkey, I of course said yes.

So how to raise some money for such a good cause.

Well on March 01, Steve Williams, a Race for Life – Turkey Committee member and one of the events driving forces will run the Antalya Half Marathon. One of the reasons he is doing so is to raise awareness of and if possible raise some money for the Race for Life - Turkey.

Steve will be 60 later this year.

Now I could ask members to kindly donate a fee and simply guess Steve’s time.  But that would be boring.


   So I have 40 t-shirts each with a number on the front and a time on the back. For a mere £ 5 you get a t-shirt (well a picture of one) and that will give you a time for Steve’s race.

Nearest time wins the prize.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

PS I have ready access to more t-shirts.

Yes DianaJ - times are randomly spread over the numbers 1 to 40 and it is the luck of the draw.

Which one would you like  :)

Thank you John so much for helping us with this. Cancer rates are rising here at an alarming rate and although Fethiye is a wonderful place, it's still a very small town in a big country where very often people need to travel to the big city's to receive treatment. We hope that our Race for Life event will be the start of making a big difference locally !
