Another year has gone by and here we are again preparing for the Cudeca Walkathon 2011.

 

On Sunday, the 15th of May, we look forward to seeing on the promenade in front of the Sunset Beach complex at Benalmadena, where you have a choice of three routes: 10 kms. for the sports enthusiasts at 10.30 h., 5 kms. for those of you who like to walk, at 11.30 h., and the 2 kms. walk specially adapted for children and friends in wheelchairs, at 11.30 h. Inscriptions will begin at 09.30 h. at the tables by the sea wall at 10€ (prepayment) and 12€ for payment on the day and 6€ for children.

 

The idea is that you get your family and friends to sponsor you for every kilometre you walk.

The persons who bring in the highest sponsorship moneys for the Cudeca Hospice will receive excellent prizes. There will also be a prize for the biggest group of people taking part in the Walk (friends, clubs etc.) This year the money raised will go towards covering the costs of the care programmes for more than 700 patients suffering from advanced cancer and their families, completely free of charge.

The inscription form will be available at the end of April and you can register at either the reception of the Cudeca Hospice, in any of the 12 Charity Shops that the Foundation has along the Coast, and on line, on our web page, www.cudeca.org.

 

This will be a fun day for the family with sport, live music, a big paella, BBQ and other amusements. Our friends, Exploramas, will take care of the games and there will be a live show for children with a performance by Ronald McDonald.

 

Amongst our many supporters who make it possible for this 9th Walkathon to take place, we would like to give special thanks to the following:

 

The XANIT INTERNATIONAL Hospital, as Official Sponsor, Benalmadena Town Hall, the Sports Area of the Benalmadena Council, the Regional Government Offices, Sunset Beach Hotel Club, Coca-Cola, Fundación Cajasol, Exploramas, the Mancomunidad Costa del Sol Occidental, Knight Insurance Brokers, Diario Malaga Hoy, Talk Radio Europe, Dumher, Cadena Ser, Carrefour Alameda, McDonald’s Benalmadena, Restaurante El Tintero II and Grupo GMG.

 

The funds raised will be destined to continue “Adding Life to Days” for our patients with advanced cancer in the province of Malaga, and support to their families. As always, the help given since 1992 is free of charge.
