Relay For Life - 3 March

**Mom** · 30th January 2012, 17:02

Greetings you wonderful people.

I am back from my holiday and bursting with energy to get stuck into this event. As you all know, our old mate Tony is facing his last battle with cancer, one he is not going to win, and, in an attempt to support him I decided to get a team together to raise money for the Cancer Society.

Cancer takes too many lives, and places enormous stresses on families and friends. The Cancer Society, are simply there for people, and they do a wonderful job.

If you are like me you will also have other reasons to support this event, cancer is not picky, it effects almost everyone in some way, be it a Mother, or a Brother, or a Best Friend, or a Best Friend, or a Really Neat Man that should have been left alone, or even on a personal level. Thank you for your support.

We are registered as The L’s Angels for this event, our Team Number is 122025. The event is on March 3rd-4th at Millenium Institute of Sports and Health, Mairangi Bay, Auckland. We will need to be there at 2pm to set up our camp and get ourselves ready to go. The event kicks off at 4pm with a survivors lap, (I hope that fatty Tony will be well enough to join us for it) and continues until 9:30am the next morning. The object is to keep a baton moving around the track during that time. It is no race, though I am told some take it very seriously.

You don’t need to be sponsored per lap, or anything like that, though you can if you want to. I have counted 14 of us that are mad enough to take this challenge on, one a survivor friend that does not ride – she has 2 kids to help walk the baton if we need a rest.
It would be wonderful if we could raise $200 each, but more is also good. I know Sabine (bluerider) is making chocolate and selling it, I will be brow beating my friends and work mates to support me. What can you guys think of to do to raise some coin?

Next post will be reserved for details of gear and other stuff like;

The bank account people can deposit money into

My stupid scanner is not working (must still be on holiday) but I will scan forms etc. into this thread for you guys to use,
Fundraising Ideas,
Transport,
How we link to Maha’s ride in support of our madness,
The list is long

PS: Can we try to keep this one on topic and relatively seemly please, I will be referring the co-ordinator of the event to this thread as we go along.

Reserve this post

Just 'cos I can...

I had a friend send me an email link through the Relay for Life website requesting donations (she's doing the Whangarei one)... is it possible to set up our team listing so we can do the same thing? Then we can all email-bomb our friends and families asking for moolah hehe

and will be able to keep track of who has raised how much I guess? at least via the website donations anyway.
I think you might need to know all our names though so you can add us to the L's Angels team list... or maybe you could use our KB names just to be different lol

**Hellzie** · 31st January 2012, 20:02

Maybe we can get a couple of businesses to sponsor us in return for sticking their logos on the back of our L's angels t-shirts?

That is very possible, I need to do a bit more work is all. Two weeks at the beach makes me a bit behind the 8 ball

So I thought it would be cool to get some Tshirts printed for the team, and maybe we could sell them too as a donation idea? And if we can get a couple of businesses on board, we could put their logos on there in return for sponsorship.

What do you think??? Not sure about the font...

Comments very welcome.

That is brilliant Hellzie.
