SEIDO KARATE REGIONAL “AROHA” WALK for LIFE DAY – Saturday 22nd September 2018

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have all experienced the loss of loved ones, friends and even family members through Cancer…and to remember our loved lost ones we will be having our own “AROHA” Walk for Life Day to remember our loved lost ones and to celebrate the privileges in our own lives…
 
It is a Fundraising event for the Cancer Society and is much like the famous “Relay 4 Life” event held at Frank Kitts Park on the Wellington waterfront each year…

There will be a cordoned off walking track for the day where everyone can walk around from 10am to 5pm…
 
We are hoping that each SEIDO Dojo will invite all their Dojo families and friends to make it a very special and memorable day of Fundraising based upon remembrance, celebration and appreciation for LIFE…..

So come along dressed in your favourite costumes to add a festive and celebratory atmosphere to the event…
 
Dojo heads and senior students please get together to start approaching your local businesses to see whether they will sponsor a marquee so your Dojo can have a Dojo base for the Day and students and families and friends start thinking of who you will approach to get sponsorship monies from for your walking energies over the day…
