UPDATE - Issue 19 - October 2004
. . . . and now start walking!
. . . . As part of our Million Prostate Miles campaign we have joined forces with Wellbeing for Women to create a unique new fundraising event - Hike for Hope, which will take place in Spring 2006. This will be a trek in an exotic location - we have yet to make the final decision as to location - and all funds raised will go towards supporting medical research to help find cures for both prostate and gynaecological cancers.
You may ask why we have teamed up with a very different charity, but the reason is very simple - we are both determined to stop cancer ruining lives.. Furthermore, by working closely together, we dramatically cut our overhead costs and thus can devote a higher percentage of income to where it is needed.
We will be publishing further details of Hike for Hope, which will be organised by Action for Charity later. Both men and women from across the UK will be invited to join together for this Hike that promises the adventure of a lifetime in an exciting and unusual overseas location. Participants need not be experienced walkers, but will need to be fit and be prepared to raise a minimum of £2,500 each, including tour costs. Watch this space!
