North Ryde Fun Run Update 11 August
Posted by Maggie Alexander
Registrations for the Fun Run are steadily increasing and have now reached 60, about the same level as this time last year. A number seem to be families, which is pleasing.
The student entries won't come in until the last week but we are confident we will have at least as many entrants as last year and most probably more. We know that Boehringer Ingelheim will be entering a corporate team and also several other organisations such as Ray White North Ryde have indicated they will too.
Sponsorship cash is over $11,000 and there is still some upside. There will be 10 stalls on the day, including the Harvey Norman Printshop, which will promote fitness products and their new printing business. The Printshop is printing our entrants Certificates of Participation at cost.
Planning for the event itself is on track. The Northern District Times will run a story on Graham McMaster this week (he is hoping to raise $2000 to donate to the cause) and next week, one on the Thr1ve team training for the event.
Rocky and David will be organising the volunteers needed on the day so please put up your hand to help, if you can.
