65K 4 65 Roses - March 6

On March 8 the third edition of the 65K 4 65 Roses Walkathon was held. 
Once again the event attracted a large group of dedicated walkers and supporters with over 200 people participating on the day.
The 2010 event raised $108,992.46.

65K 4 65 Roses
It takes a certain kind of person to drag themselves out of bed at 1:30 am to organise themselves for what could be a 14 hour trek.  Well we had 60 of that kind of people turned up for pre registration and set off in the rain at 3am.  

For a second year the weather gods smiled on us as despite our base camp getting flooded on the Friday evening, most of the rain had passed as the endurance walkers set out.

Almost 200 people participated in the walk throughout the day with many more visiting base camp to support and cheer on the walkers. We also had a very special supporting cast who worked tirelessly throughout the day to ensure it ran smoothly.

A HUGE thank you to all the participants who took part and helped us to reach this fantastic fundraising figure. The success of this event is dependent on everyday people doing their bit to help others. Whether you walked 65km or 7km, we hope you got something out of the day and didn't get too many blisters!

Finally a big thank you to all the organisations that support the 65K 4 65 Roses Walkathon. The success of this walk is largely dependent on the generosity of our corporate sponsors.

Corporate sponsorship occurs not only in the form of financial sponsorship but also in the form of 'services in kind', with everything from raffle prizes, fruit, drinks, meat, BBQ and other equipment being provided to us free of charge.

Once again, many thanks for supporting our fight against Cystic Fibrosis.

We hope we can count on you for the 4th edition of this wonderful event.
