Do you want to get off your couch and "run" for charity now?

If you (like me) have just watched the London Marathon and want to do something like that for charity - but not as far ... Lets enter a team for Cancer Research UK's "Race for Life" and “Run for Moore” - and walk, jog or run 5k and raise money for Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work.

There are a good many events running around the South East but having done the one in Blackheath (and run/walked around the heath) in my schooldays I can promise nice soft walking/running ground (and a good few local pubs!) and there is a race for the ladies in the morning and the lads in the afternoon!

WHY DON’T WE ENTER TWO DANCE RIVIERA TEAMS ON SUNDAY 13 JULY AT BLACKHEATH?

When I did my Race for Life I didn’t know what to expect but it was a great day with a great atmosphere - everyone was so friendly and supportive to each other. The emotions that come with the day give you such a feeling of power - feeling you have done something to help others and had such a great time doing it! I am glad that I did it and I can’t wait to do it all over again this year.

Come on ladies lets go pink for a day and lads go red for a day!

  • Ladies - Entry costs £12.50 per person. This covers their costs in organising and running the event on the day (e.g. venue, hire, medals and toilets). This means that the sponsorship money we raise will go directly towards their work into the prevention, treatment and cure of all forms of cancer. Enter for the race on http://www.raceforlife.org/
  • Lads - Entry costs £15 per runner. This helps us cover the cost of staging the event and also includes a Run for Moore T-shirt. They also invite you to make a pledge of your sponsorship target – but any pledge you make is non-binding. The only thing you will be charged once you have finished the form is the entry fee. Enter for the race on http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/runformoore.

Please register yourselves on these websites and then let us know so that we can all keep in touch regarding what is happening on the day – keep reading the blog and email us at info@danceriviera.com.

Doing the events on the same day we can all support each other … rubbing each others aching legs, looking after bags - and getting the drinks in!

That sounds great I am doing the race with my mum, sister and cousin on behalf of my auntie, and also in memory of our darling Jennie who lost her battle last year. So come on girls get out there and help.
