10K Betty Willet Memorial Run

Every May, there is an annual 10K run, in Memory of Betty Willet, who was the chair Lady of this committee.
Over the years it has been noted, that we are not getting the support as it once use to. We are looking for some ideas, of how we can improve the run to make it appealing to a wider audience, by this we mean, not only the serious runners to take part but also those who want to help raise money but not take it too seriously.

Really love to hear from any one who has ideas..........

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Some of you may know this already, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

If you have any ideas, for rasing some much needed funds please tell us. There are lots of tips and ideas, which can be found on the Cancer Research Website, so have a look, we look forward to hearing from you.

JUST GIVING

Finally set up a just giving page, for those of you kind people who would like to donate at any time... he he

www.justgiving.com/lutondistrictcommittee.

If you have taken part in the 10K Memorial Run in May and have not submitted all of your sponsorship money, this will be an easy and quick way to get it all over with.

Once again thank you very much, really appreciate this.
