Team Number and Tent Site – “68″

This is the fourth year Peak Fitness & Health have entered a team in the Relay for Life Event, which raises money for the HB Cancer Society. Our Team “Peak Fighters” raised the most amount of money this year due to the fact our team members doubled from last year.

Our Grand Total raised was $3550.00!!!

Members of our Amazing Team were:

Jess, Dimi and Taine Hanara
Charissa Barham
Cherie Allen
Brenda & Kendal Gowan
Mike Leary
Ray Mettrick
Suzette Potts
Laura Barry
Sam Hoyle & Sue Reynolds

To help raise the money, we organised 5 major fundraisers in Feb 08, which were a Sausage Sizzle, a Nutrition & Fat Loss Course, Hamper Grocery Raffle, Mystery class and a Prenzels evening.

We had 24 hours of fun and dressed up and joined in the fun themes of “Mask Masquerade”, “Things that go bump in the night” and “Art Deco Dash”. We joined in the Line Dancing, cooked on the Bar-be-que and made it a real family affair with the children of our team coming along over the 24 hours. Most of our team stayed the night and not a lot of sleep was had, but instead lots of fun times, great stories to tell and blisters on feet and aching muscles the next day.

We accumulated a total of 480+ laps over the 24 hours and finished 2nd out of 100 teams. Not a bad effort by any means and on par with previous years.

In 2005, we placed 2nd
In 2006, we placed 1st – 500 laps plus!!
In 2007, we placed 4th

Anyone interested in joining our 2009 team should keep an eye out for a meeting in November 2008 and our goal is to have 2 teams next year – a running team and a walking team and our target? well – $4000.00 should be achievable!!
