BCNA supporters Run Melbourne!

Hi all,

I thought I would give you a quick update about an event happening down here in Melbourne, and thank some supporters going the extra km for BCNA!

While Melbourne shivers through a wet and windy winter, hundreds of BCNA supporters will be pulling on their runners to raise money and awareness in Run Melbourne on Sunday 15 July 2012.

Melbourne based real estate agency and BCNA supporter Jellis Craig have assembled a 192-strong team, and are aiming to raise an incredible $50,000 for BCNA through their fundraising efforts.

Jellis Craig supports BCNA is already the highest fundraising team entered in Run Melbourne, with a current total of nearly $30,000!

There are quite a few BCNA staff members on the Jellis Craig team, as well some staff from Bakers Delight HQ. Entrants are running across all three distances – 5km, 10km and 21km.

I’m only attempting the 5km – and am just hoping for some sunshine on the day!

To learn more about the Jellis Craig supports BCNA team visit their Run Melbourne fundraising page.

The Age Run Melbourne, is the community fitness event for everyone. And we have a number of supporters participating to fundraise for BCNA – including male model, Dancing with the Stars contestant and BCNA friend Nick Bracks. Nick is the son of BCNA board member Terry Bracks, and we’re thrilled to have him on board.

Nick will be running in a team under the name of his own underwear label underBRACKS, and this is exactly what Nick and his male model team will be running in – pink underBRACKS!

Nick will be running the 10km in his effort to raise in excess of $5,000 for BCNA.

Thank you to Nick and his underBRACKS team for their hard work.

To support Nick in Run Melbourne visit underBRACKS' fundraising page.

BCNA is lucky enough to have almost 40 other runners or walkers supporting BCNA during Run Melbourne!

37 runners have chosen to raise funds for Australians affected by breast cancer when they participate in their own personal challenge – Run Melbourne!

Thank you to Jellis Craig, underBRACKS and our individual fundraisers for your support.

If anyone is interested in participating in Run Melbourne and running or walking for BCNA, it’s not too late to register at the Run Melbourne website.

Online entries close 11 July 2012.

  • Haha thanks Di! I think we'll all make quite a statement in our green singlets - although we may be a bit cold!

    I think Gabby and I are planning on doing a bit of a run/walk effort. But should be great fun and a great atmosphere on the day I'm sure.

    There will be quite a few BCNA staff at the run next weekend so anyone else participating please let us know and we can say 'Hi' and hook you up with a temporary Pink Lady tattoo :) x
