Race for Life - WE DID IT!!!
WOW what a wonderful time we all had this morning - Swanley Dance coaches Sarah and Christine, Sarah's mum Brenda and Christine's friends Alison and Carol all took part in the Race for Life at Blackheath!
Just like Herne Bay Dance Coach Lynne (who did her Race for Life on Sunday 22 June - see earlier Blog article) we all got ourselves off the couch, did some training and raised money for Cancer Research UK. The order of the day was to dress in pink, which you can see we did, and raise money (which we are still doing) and awareness for Cancer Research - we had all lost family and friends to this disease and walked/ran/danced in memory of them as well as in celebration of friends and family who had survived thanks to the work of Cancer Research. We had a great time and made some great friends with whom we congo-ed over the finishing line! We had made a date to enter the Race again next year - so cant wait to meet up with our new friends from Oxleas NHS Trust and Dartford - ladies we also hope to see you on the dance floor soon!
You can see from the photographs that we had a great time - come on you coach potatoes join us next year (http://www.raceforlife.org/) - I have some spare pink material ....! Lads - dont feel left out the Run for Moore (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/runformoore) takes place straight after the ladies race!
Thanks to everyone who sponsored us - we will be collecting the money soon - if you didn't sponsor us but wish to donate some money we will be at Swanley tomorrow in our race outfits (wigs, skirts and shiny new run medals) - the collection box will be on the front desk!

Well done us - it was a fantastic day and what a great way to raise money. I will soon know if my training walking has paid off - if I can still walk and dance tomorrow!

Both Christine and I would LIKE to say a massive THANK YOU to all who sponsored us for sunday. Next year we plan to do it again but hopefully we can recruit more of "our girls" to join us.
Thanks again

Thanks again to everyone who has sponsored us - Sarah, Alison and myself donned our pink wigs and skirts and danced the night away at Swanley. At one point Clem was a pink lady but sadly there is no photographic evidence! To anyone who wants to join us next year the dates will be announced in Jan/Feb 2009 and I will let you all know the dates!
Christine x
