Bootcamp for the Breast Cancer Foundation ‘Pink’ appeal

One of our Amesbury parents, Belinda, runs a Bootcamp on the school grounds twice a week.

Next Saturday, 1 June, she is hosting a fundraiser Bootcamp for the Breast Cancer Foundation ‘Pink’ appeal. In lieu of Bootcamp fees, anyone attending can give a donation to this amazing cause. Belinda will also be supplying treats for everyone that comes.

The Bootcamp will be at the usual Saturday time of 7am and is suitable for all levels of fitness. The session will be 45 minutes long. Not only does it give parents the opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause, it also enables parents in the community an opportunity to meet each other and exercise at the same time!

Belinda has a Facebook page called Beazer Bootcamp:

And the fundraiser page if people want to donate is:

Last year the group raised just over $500 - they are hoping to at least equal that amount this year.
