REWARDS ON OFFER TO LIVERPOOL 10K RUNNERS
THE
race is on to find local people prepared to run in the Liverpool 10K
race in a few months time and raise funds for a major charity as it
continues to search for cures for muscle disease, which can often
cause severe disability or, in many cases, can greatly shorten life
expectancy.
As part of its ‘Big Push’ 2007 appeal, the Regional Office of
the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign is asking readers to enter the race
and help push up the awareness of muscle disease by getting
sponsored for running. In return, everyone who raises funds can
claim some great sportswear rewards and a top quality running vest
to show their support for the charity during the race.
Says Charles Horton, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Regional
Fundraising Manager, “We need as many people as possible to
enter the Liverpool 10k and raise funds if we are going to beat this
disease. It’s a great way to help others and will help us push up
the amount we can spend on research. Why not join us in our Big Push
to find a cure for muscle disease”.
The Liverpool 10K race takes place on Sunday 7 October 2007,
starting at 10am. For an entry pack call the Muscular Dystrophy
Campaign Regional Office on 01244 403012 or
email.

The
Liverpool Skyline from 101 feet!
THE Stroke
Association is offering Merseyside residents the chance to see the
county from 101 feet by abseiling Leasowe Lighthouse in Moreton on
the Wirral on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 October 2007.
Abseilers will be able to admire stunning views over land and sea
and even spot Liverpool Cathedral as they step down the 101 feet
curved outer wall of the Lighthouse. A rush of adrenaline is
guaranteed for both novices and experienced abseilers alike.
Louise Elliott, Regional Fundraising Manager, explains:- ‘This
is a great opportunity to take a team challenge with friends, family
or colleagues. You can abseil in the attire of your choice. Perhaps
your company t-shirts or even fancy dress! On top of this, you can
choose your favourite track to abseil too! Perhaps this is the
chance you’ve always wanted to dress as Spiderman, abseil as
Spiderman while being accompanied by the Spiderman theme tune!’
Registration for the Abseil is just £10.00 and all we ask is that
you raise a minimum of £75 in donations from your friends, family
and work colleagues. We will also send you a fabulous fundraising
pack to help you on your way. No experience is necessary as full
training will be given on the day. Places are strictly
limited, so call the Abseil Hotline now on 07799 436 011 to
register. Alternatively, you can
email Louise Elliott for more information.
Each year around 150,000 people in the UK will have a stroke. It is
the UK’s 3rd biggest killer and the leading cause of serve adult
disability. Funds raised by this event will help The Stroke
Association work towards a world where there are fewer strokes and
those affected by stroke get the help and support they need. |
