TEAM LOWDOWN @ THE RUN'10 - IMPORTANT UPDATE - PLEASE READ THANKS!

Hi Everyone!

Please take a few minutes to carefully read the Countdown List below & contact relevant people with any questions or offers of support!


Firstly - Thank You! We have been really blown-away by the support & positive response to both 'The Lowdown 21 Campaign' & this, the last big fundraising event in The Lowdown's 21st Anniversary calendar...

Secondly - We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported & came along to the run training sessions - I think you'll agree they have been a great team/social activity & surprisingly good fun!

& finally - 'Team Lowdown' would not have become "a force to be reckoned with" without the involvement of Chris & Jackie at Northamptonshire Sport (Promotional Support), Mick at Watermelon (T-Shirts) & Anthony Mann from PhysicalPT (Fun & Fitness) - you've all been truly amazing!


Anthony's motivation, dedication, belief & good humour in particular has given the event a real buzz & feelgood factor - on behalf of everyone at The Lowdown we'd like to say a huge "THANK YOU" !!!

& So... The Countdown Begins !!!

NB: CLICK ON THE INFORMATION BELOW THAT'S BLUE TO LEARN MORE
