Going from babies to “RELAY
FOR LIFE”
Fifteen
of our ladies participated in the walk
and it was the wettest day we have had for such long
time, but they kept going. They, at the beginning
of the walk, walked proudly behind the fantastic
banner made for them by Tony Epplett Signs. It was a
relay and the ladies had their allotted times to
walk, even in the pouring rain and even into the
middle of the night. They took turns, in the night,
to climb into the stretcher beds they had, Pat said
they, the stretchers didn’t have a chance to get
cold. In the morning they had a fantastic
breakfast, bacon, eggs, sausages, baked beans and
tomatoes, cooked for them by volunteers.
Altogether 71 teams took part, Schools, businesses,
bowling clubs and many others, it was a tremendous
turnout. So far the money raised is $84,000; our
ladies raised $2170, and still counting.
