YWCA Encore Charity Walks – Winter 2010

After the success of our Glenelg to West Beach walk in February 2010, Fitgirls have decided to organise more walks to keep us all fit throughout the winter period, while still raising money for the YWCA of Adelaide Encore Program.

The walks will be held on the first Sunday of each month, in June, July and August. See below for the schedule.

Sunday June 6th at 9am – MT MOFTY WALK
Meet at Waterfall Gully for a walk up to Mt Lofty and return. Difficulty – medium, Estimated Time – 2 hours.

Sunday July 4th at 9am – MARINO BOARDWALK
Meet in the carpark of the Marino Rocks Cafe, at the end of Jervois Tce, Marino. Difficulty – medium, Estimated Time – 2 hours.

Sunday August 1st at 9am – WEST BEACH TO GLENELG
Meet at the West Beach Surf Club, walk to Glenelg and back. Difficulty – easy, Estimated Time – 2 hours.

We will be asking for a donation of $5 per participant. Please just bring the money with you on the day and hand it to the Fitgirls trainer.

All proceeds will be going to the wonderful YWCA of Adelaide Encore Programs. Encore is an eight week exercise program for women who have experienced breast cancer.

We have spent some time with the Groups at their weekly meetings, talking about keeping fit and healthy, and we have been impressed by the great work that Encore does with these women. Funding for Encore has previously been provided by Avon, however, Avon significantly reduced its funding in 2008 and now Encore relies solely on donations and fundraising activities, so this is where Fitgirls and its extended family can help out.

So get a walking group together… husbands, sisters, kids, neighbours, work colleagues, and register below.
