Run-Walk-Cycle

“Fun” is the optimum word for the FUN RUN/ WALK/ CYCLE fundraiser organized by the Amano Christian School PTA held on a warm Saturday morning in September.  Sixty-seven participants including staff, students, and their families and friends made their way through designated paths through the bush by various means on foot, wheels, carried in a chair, or tied up together whilst sporting creative costumes and hair-dos.

Adding the word, “push,” to the list is what Mr. Kirk did to a wheelbarrow which carried his wife.  “It’s not the mode of transport I’d recommend,” said Mrs. Kirk after the 2.5 km trek attempting to sit upright for the duration with no back rest.  She offered to get out for walking a bit but in true valiant chauffeur-style, Mr. Kirk was determined to complete the route as it began…and he did!

A child in a pram finished last but not least on the 5 km route and two bikers finished 15 km around the one-hour mark.  If you want to learn how much money was raised, come to the annual general meeting but don’t forget to watch for other ACS events and activities along the way; there just may be some more PTA planned fund-raisers and we call it, “Fun!”
