“MABS RACE FOR LIFE” RAISES OVER NINE THOUSAND EUROS

Three hundred and fifty people took part in another successful  “MABS Race for Life” on April 3rd, 2011.

Between them they raised the amazing total of 9,367.68 euros, all of which will go to make the lives of those undergoing treatment for cancer more comfortable.

The five kilometre run started at the MABS Centre in Sol Park, Moraira, went to Moraira Town Hall and then returned to the Centre. The money raised is really important. It will go toward keeping the wonderful MABS Centre open for counselling and alternative treatments such as lymph drainage, Reiki therapy, Bach flower therapy and all the other wonderful treatments on offer.

MABS Cancer Support Group would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part:

·         The runners for their energy

·         Their individual sponsors for their financial contribution

·         Los Leones for providing the essential water

·         Iceland for those wonderful Energy Bars

·         Heat/Gold Radio for the live show on the day

·         Motive8 of Benitachell for planning the route and for getting everyone warmed up before the race

·         Teulada Town Hall for their support with the Civil Protection Unit on the roads

And last but definitely not least.......

·         Thanks go to those wonderful Marshalls for all their hard work along the route.

Now everyone is looking forward to 2012 and, with your help, we’ll raise the number of runners to a new record. Here are just a few of the 2011 entrants getting ready for the off!
