I have been asked to get involved in an Easter Fundraising day to raise money for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund on Wednesday 6th April 2011 to be held at Plymouth Albion RFC, Brickfields. The day is being organized by The Goodbooks Group and when I heard about it I jumped at the chance to get involved for such an amazing cause.
The day will include a rugby 7’s tournament, schools Tag rugby tournament, various static displays, Rib/Viking rides and a parachute display team, and the Royal Marines Band to name but a few events happening. I have been asked to head up a 4x400mtr relay team to take part in a relay race. The batons themselves are going to be stretcher handles that have been actually used to carry injured servicemen out in Afghanistan and these batons travel around the country to various fundraising events.There have been 6 teams confirmed to participate in the relay race which will happen at around 1630 on the running track at Brickfields, the teams are Albion, Argyle, Raiders, Katherine Endacott celeb team, Royal Marines Team, and a Goodbooks team.
It is intended to be a family day out,there will be various bars and food available throughout the day and an Easter egg hunt and entertainment for the children. So I am hoping to see as many of you there as possible, I know it is along time away but please do write it in your diary it is going to be a fantastic day. I mean just coming to see me die over 400mtrs has got to be worth it!!! 200mtrs is my limit so I am going to be pushing the boat out a bit here. haha.
So now I am busy trying to workout who I could have in my team and I am hoping I can throw in a few surprises. I know it is a few months away but I will be sure to blog about this again soon to keep reminding you all
