The final amount is.....

Well ladies a great big pat on the back for all of us as yet again we have beat the "crisis" and raised a fantastic 4100 euros for Fundaciò Oncolliga Girona. We really cannot thank every single one of you enough that donated, took part or came along to support us for our 3rd walk.

For a small fishing village we have managed to raise a lot of money over the last three years. Just as importantly we have hopefully helped spread the word of this fantastic organisation which, with the help of all it's volunteers, does a great job providing support to cancer sufferers and their families in our local region.

If you would like to contact the charity for more information on their services you can do via this link http://www.oncolligagirona.cat/

Thank you so much from both of us and on behalf of the charity.

Until next year,

Andrea and Emma x

P.S. Remember next year ....... the boys can join us!!!!

The final amount.....

Well the total is nearly in. It is currently at over 4000 euros to give to the charity after all the expenses - t-shirts, printing costs etc. There are a couple more payments to go into the account and before the end of this week we will have the final total.

We would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who took part in the event and everyone who donated or raised money.

For those of you ladies that are here in Estartit or a little further afield then the next money raising event is the "Chics for charity" dinner, which is held annually and organised by Jane Collier, to raise money for different charities. This year all the monies raised will also go to Fundació Oncolliga Girona.

So come along and join us on the 3rd December 2010 at Roberts restaurant.

Please contact us for more information.

Thanks again,

Andrea & Emma x

led by Kay, who did a great job on stage!

Well done everyone!!

The walk for life Costa Brava 2010 was a FANTASTIC day. Not only was the sun shining but the turn out was incredible nearly 150 ladies turned up to walk!!!!

We set off slightly late and headed off along the promenade. The last part of the prom is closed due to problems with the beach (or lack of it) so we took a small detour and headed towards the pit stop at Camping Medas. A new addition this year. We were warmly welcomed by the campiste and offered cold water and iced apples - a welcome relief on such a hot day. We were also given gifts from the campiste. After a short break we continued and headed back to the promenade and along to the Plaça de la Llevantina. We were welcomed by the men who had done a smashing job at setting up the stalls ready for our arrival. For those of us who wanted it we were given a complimentary glass of cold cava in Harveys bar opposite.

The cake stalls were as always a great success and the tombola was great thanks to all the shops of Estartit and Torroella who donated such fab gifts. After a little rest it was time for our Line dancing Lesson/demonstration by Kay. Line dancers from her dance classes all over the costa Brava strutted their stuff and a few of us tried to keep up!! Kay did a great job and dazzled on the stage.

After the dancing it was time to release the Balloons to Heaven and head off ourselves to Harveys for a well deserved drink.

The day was such a great success and we really cannot thank everyone who was involved enough from the walkers to the sponsors.

Together we are fighting cancer!!!
