The RISE Foundation

The annual Flora Women's Mini Marathon is a very important fundraising event for The RISE Foundation. It generates vital funds to help us run our Family Programmes and continue supporting families impacted by addiction. We always have great fun taking part each year (even in the rain!) and lots of craic at the party afterwards.

This year's Mini Marathon will take place on bank holiday Monday, June 4th. We are hoping to get at least 200 women to join Frances and walk, jog or run it, so it would be wonderful if you and some of your work colleagues, friends and/or family members would consider doing it for RISE.

If you or anyone you know is interested in doing this year’s Mini Marathon for RISE, please just follow these simple steps:

• Firstly, you need to officially register for the Flora Women's Mini Marathon either online at www.womensminimarathon.ie or postal entries through the Evening Herald every Wednesday and Saturday. (NOTE: It's best to register as soon as possible as numbers are limited and you cannot take part if you are not officially registered).
• Next, please fill in the RISE online registration form http://www.therisefoundation.ie/register-womens-mini-marathon-2012 and your sponsorship card and T-shirt will be posted out to you. This year, everyone who registers with RISE will be entered into a special draw to win a delicious dinner for two in SABA http://www.sabadublin.com

• Finally, you can also create your own fundraising page online through this link http://www.mycharity.ie/charity/therisefoundation/ Also this year, there will be a very special prize for whoever manages to fundraise the greatest amount of a wondeful weekend away for two.
  
  

We do hope that you will be able to take part in this year's Women's Mini Marathon for RISE as it should be a brilliant day and it will really make a difference to the families in need of our support.
