Hi everyone,
I am participating in the relay for life this year as my brother Charles is a Cancer survivor.
I would like to raise $5000, with Barb and Marty Osborne already sponsoring me $500.
I am writing to get more sponsors as it is for a very good cause and being a ski racer my self, I know that my brother is not the only one in the sport that has been touched by this horrible illness.
All the money goes to cancer council to help find a cure for cancer.
If anyone would like to sponsor me they can go to the link below and click on my name to sponsor.
Any donation over $2 is tax deductible and I will be trying to walk for at least 12 hrs straight myself.
If i raise the $5000 (or more!), I am going to do my best at making the 24hr walk, as people with cancer go thru a lot more pain than I, who will be just walking for 24hrs.
I have given full details of the event below and the team that i am walking for.
People can sponsor just me or our team as a whole.
You can call me on 0432 82 44 16 if you need to discuss anything.
Thanks
Karen Follington
“Relay For Life is an overnight, community event where teams participate in a relay-style walk or run to raise funds for the Cancer Council.
The event brings the whole community together for a night of fun, entertainment, celebration and remembrance.
In NSW alone, around 40,000 people take part in the relay each year.
The event is not just about the amazing experience of spending the weekend with your local community. It’s also about the fun ways your team can raise money in the lead up to the day.
The Relay For Life is a truly amazing occasion where tears are shed, hopes are raised, fun is had and friendships are forged”.
In the 2010 Relay, Advantage Tennis Academy raised $2677.60.
In 2011, we have joined forces with the Hawkesbury District Independent News and hope to smash our 2010 fundraising effort.
We would love it if you (and/or your families/friends) could join Advantage Tennis Academy and The Hawkesbury District Independent News in the 2011 Hawkesbury Relay for Life.
The Hawkesbury Relay For Life is being held Saturday 28th May to Sunday 29th May 2011 at the Hawkesbury Showground.
We will have a great time and it will be an experience to remember.
Give up one hour of your weekend to relay for life.
The relay commences at 10:00am on Saturday 28th May and ceases at 10:00am on Sunday 29th May.
Our team is implementing a roster in which every team member is required to do a stint of at least 1 hour (Kristina Dimech managed a massive 9 hour stint last year… let’s see if she can beat it this year!!!).
Those members that wish to stay for the full 24 hours are obviously more than welcome and we will be camping overnight on site if anyone else wants to join us with their tent and sleeping bag.
To join our team, click the link below and join up today!
If you are not able to join us at the relay but would like to make a contribution to our teams fundraising, please click the link below to go to our teams site and make a donation.
Remember any donation over $2 is tax deductible but more importantly, every dollar makes a difference.
We appreciate any support you can give.
If you aren’t able to make a monetary donation but would like to donate an item or service that we can use in a raffle, please feel free to contact me so we can get a raffle started.
No item is too small (or too big!).

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this email and also hope that you can help our team make a difference.
Cheers,
Kaz xx
