2007 Event

Every Goddess Relay for Life Team and Fundraising for the Cancer Council WA.

Every goddess participated in the Cancer Council's fundraising event Relay for life. The Team was named Every Goddess.

It is a 24 Hours relay walk from Saturday 24 - Sunday 25 March 2007 from 3pm to 3pm at Perry Lakes Stadium in Perth in WA.

We had a fantastic team of goddesses that participated in fundraising, support activities and walking.

We raised money by person effort (sponsorship and raffle tickets) and we hosted a fundraising charity auction. Our team raised $13000 and it was an amazing feeling to be part of the event and do something good for others.

The fundraising was made possible because of hundreds of people that supported our team. A special thanks to Janelle and the girls at All About Me - Unisex haridresser in South Perth and to Robert and Duval foods for the wonderful catering during the 24 hours walking.

What is RELAY FOR LIFE?
Relay for Life is a fun-filled overnight event. It represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, those faced with cancer will be supported and that one day, cancer will be eliminated. Relay for Life offers something for everyone. From newly diagnosed, to caregivers and friends to long term survivors, corporate sector, community service groups, health care professionals and fitness fanatics.

How It Began:
Relay for Life was started by the American Cancer Society in 1985 and is now held in over 3000 locations each year, raising in excess of $212 million in the USA. Relay for Life is now held internationally including every State and Territory in Australia

What We Offer:
A 24 hour relay event which includes the Survivor's walk to honour those living with cancer, a Candlelight Tribute Ceremony to remember those we have lost and around the clock entertainment. Have fun while supporting a great cause.

2005 Event

The Goddesses Generating Goodness (GGG) has completed the Relay for Life for 2005. It was a fantastic event with a terrific atmosphere and a bunch of people that are committed to make cancer a thing of the past. See the attached photo.

There were teams from companies, families, pubs, social clubs, schools, running clubs, friends, people doing it solo. Some were running and some were walking.

Thank you so much for your generous support for my participation in the GGG Goddesses Generating Goodness and for the Cancer Council of WA.

The GGG Team raised $6000. The entire event (160 teams) raised $350,000

The GGG Team was supported by:

Catering – 24 hours of fantastic food was supplied to us throughout the event. Robert turned up at 7am on Sunday morning with hot chocolate, hot porridge, scrambled egg, bacon, tomato and toast. It was in heaven. Just what you need when you have been up since 3 am walking and keeping warm.

Robert Duval Foods – Highly recommended. Give them a call if you need catering Tel 9380 4130.

Plant display by Green World – Our campsite was made “Goddess like” by the boys at Green World.

Why don’t you consider putting together a team for next year? I’m happy to help you.
