Not long to go....action stations ladies!

Well not long until the second walk for life costa Brava. Can you believe it is almost a year since the last one? Where does the time go?

What's new for this year? Well... a couple of things firstly the charity that we are supporting here is Catalunya. We have decided to donate the money raised to El fundació onocolliga Girona. This charity supports and helps those fighting cancer and their families here in the province of Girona. They help in many many ways from offering practical help with things like wheelchairs and beds for those who are ill, they offer help around the home, they have two apartments next to the Josep Trueta hospital in Girona which ralatives can use to sleep, rest, cook etc. when visiting family members in hospital. They also offer pysiotherapy and counciling, limfatic drainage and they also run educational programmes teaching the youger generation how to prevent cancer. For more information on this charity you can visit their website http://www.onocolligagirona.com/

The second change is the walking route. This year we have two routes - on the same as last year 5km and the second a longer route (which is an added approx. 2 km to the original course). You can choose the route you prefer.

Oh yes and we have also decided to reduce the entry fee - we have all been affected by the "Crisis" or "Credit crunch" so we hope this will encourage more people to join us.

Once again we plan to have "fete" style stalls at the finish of the course so WE NEED YOU! If you would like to have a stall (cakes, books, toys, nik naks, etc..) please contatc us and we will reserve you a place. REMEMBER that the monies you take must be donated to the event.

We also need everyone to spread the word about the event. With out the resident magazine it is a little more difficult to get the word out. If any one would like some posters or flyers please let us know and we would be very happy to give you some to put up and around the province.
