Defence Force Structure-Army 'Walk For A Cure' 22 -26 Nov 05Various members of Defence Force Structure-Army (I will be attending) will be running/walking from Canberra to Sydney, via the coast road, during the period 22 - 26 Nov 05, in order to raise money for the ACT Cancer Council, in particular Breast Cancer Research. The activity will be called "Walk for a Cure' and will hopefully be advertised fully over the next few months. One of the many ways we intend to raise money is by selling the ever popular 'Entertainment Book' amongst members of AHQ, their families, friends and anyone else who would like to support this worthwhile cause. The books run from 1 June - 31 May each year and should be available from March. The cost of a book is $50 each, with $10 of this amount going to our nominated charity. The books have been well received in the past with hundreds of dollars worth of savings for events, services and restaurants within not only the ACT but Australia wide. If you need convincing, just ask those around you who had the books last year or contact me. It would be appreciated if you could support the event by purchasing a book (or books), and also pass on the info to family and friends, with the intent of securing a pledge before they go on wide distribution to the ACT. If you would like to purchase a book, please let me know by email so I can place the appropriate order.
