Entry time already!
August is now almost over and the 1st September is here already. Dowload you entry details from the website and register for the walk from tomorrow. You can pay your money direct into the bank account or you can pay in cash at the Kings Property Management office. Once you have completed your form and paid your entry fee of just 10 euros then you can collect your T-shirt from the Tourist information office in Estartit or from the Kings Property Management Office (C/ Freu - under the Blau Mar apartment complex). If you took part last year and still have your t-shirt you can reuse it (as I will be doing) any extra t-shirts we have we will sell them on the day of the walk with the money going to the charity.
Also on the day we are going to have a balloon lauch. My 6 year old daughter Ellie came up with the name "balloons to heaven". We will have a selection of helium filled balloons in the different colours of all the different cancer charities. You can make a donation for the balloon and write the name of your loved one lost to the diesease. We will then launch all the balloons together after the walk.
Does anyone know where we can get helium from in the local area????????
Remember we need people to help with stalls on the day so get in touch if you are interested!

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.

Walk for life costa Brava 2008
Here are some photos from our event last year. we are hoping that this year will be as successful as last year. We had 76 ladies, 1 man in drag and a dog take part in the 5km walk last year so with a bit of luck we can match or beat that number this year.

Final day for sponsor money coming up....
Well we have nearly collected all of our sponsor monies in. If you have not yet paid in your money then please can you either drop it into the Kings office or pay it into the walk for life account. We CANNOT BELIEVE the amount of money that you have all collected it is over whelming. We will confirm the totals at the end of this week but in the UK via just giving we have raised 2384.00 pounds which is fantastic. We do not have the final totals here yet but it is already over 5000 euros !!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!
We will confirm all the totals as soon as we have the final figures:)
A BIG BIG thank you to everyone that has helped and supported us. This was the first year of an event that we are hoping will get bigger and better each year!
