The final winter activity for Victory Runners comprised of five very brave contestants. With gale force westerly winds and extremely cold conditions they were given the option of not running, however, proudly all agreed to take the plunge and not allow the weather conditions to have the victory!
As mentioned in last weeks article concerning the Unity 2k Walk for Parkinson’s next Sunday, August 26th. It would be great if Victory Runners could show support to those we know and love, touched by Parkinson’s, and participate in this walk along the Shoalhaven River bank, starting at 10:am from Moorehouse Park.
Everyone is welcome, friends, family, work mates, kids, pets and the whole community can be involved. Love to see you there.
The Unity Walk is the annual fundraising initiative of Parkinson’s NSW to support vital research and services for those affected by Parkinson’s.
The above photo’s were emailed to me from Cristine Suffolk. The one on the left is Crissy running at Willandra in April 1987 at the age of 17yrs, the second photo taken from a similar position by Cristine on Sunday 19th August 2018 ….. 31 years later !!
Obviously the landscape has changed more than Crissy as she is still running, and running well. On September 1st. she will fly out with the Australian Masters Team headed for Spain to compete in her favourite event, the 8k Cross Country at the World Masters Athletic Championships to be held in Malaga. We wish her all the best and know she will be giving 100% effort.
Watch this space for information and dates regarding plans for the upcoming Summer Season.
