Race For Life - Volunteers Print E-mail
Written by Craig Fisher   

logo-cruk.gifMeg Salmon is an Area Events Manager for Cancer Research UK and she organises Race for Life and Run 10k events. 

These include the following:-

  • Welwyn & Hatfield Race for Life – Stanborough Park, Sunday 7th June 2009
  • Luton Race for Life – Stockwood Park, Sunday 5th July 2009
  • Stevenage Race for Life – Fairlands Valley Park, Saturday 11th July 2009
  • Stevenage Race for Life – Fairlands Valley Park, Sunday 12th July 2009
  • St Albans Race for Life – Verulamium Park, Sunday 19th July 2009
  • Hatfield House 10k – Saturday 17th October 2009
  • Hatfield House 10k – Sunday 18th October 2009
Each of these events require a lot of support from volunteers and she was wondering if any of the local Rotary Clubs to these events would be interested in getting involved in supporting any of them on the day.

Meg writes:

It would be brilliant to have as many people involved as possible.  Without the support of volunteers and groups such as yourselves, our events would not be able to go ahead.

I have attached the profiles of the different volunteer opportunities on the day at a Race for Life event [see below].  There are other things in and around the event area that we will need help with as well.  The welfare volunteer role is something that can only be fulfilled by someone who has been CRB checked.

I am really struggling to get early morning set up volunteers for the Welwyn & Hatfield Race for Life taking place in Stanborough Park on Sunday 7th June 2009 so if anyone is in a position to come down from 6am on the day, I would be most grateful.  I realise this is very early for a Sunday so I am not expectant.

I hope that after receiving this email, some of the local Rotary members will be able to offer support to Cancer Research UK and me with this.  I would really appreciate it if anyone is able to help.

Thank you so much for your consideration.  If you require any further information, please call me on 07918 766 840 or email me on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

A Thought...

glennestessl.jpg"One of the most wonderful things about Rotary is that it allows you to be part of something so much larger than yourself."

Glenn E. Estess Snr., RI President 2005.

Nothing Changes...

paul-harris.jpg"I would like to think that the pioneering days of Rotary have only just begun. There are just as many new things to be done as ever there were. Kaleidoscopic changes are taking place, many of them without our will. Even to hang on to the fringe of this fast-changing world is about all most of us can do. Rotary simply must continue to pioneer or be left in the rear of progress."

Paul Harris - The Rotarian February 1945
