Another last desperate plea for some organisation to get some great cheap publicity and help a brilliant charity.
This year's famous Derwent Dambuster 10 mile Challenge on May 10th will be the 9th one, and it grows in popularity every year. This year the event was full within 6 hours of the entries opening, and has raised around £3500 for Challenge Cancer Through Adventure, a Peak based charity; (

Unfortunately, our sponsors for the last 8 years have pulled out. In the past they gave us loads of rucksacks for prizes, in return for which they had their name plastered all over our website, and on the numbers of all 200 runners.
We have managed to scrape together a couple of prizes from generous individuals, but we have tried in vain to get anyone else interested in helping us, by providing a couple more prizes, and to pay for the numbers (numbers cost about sixty quid)
If we can't get this help, then the prizes and numbers will be paid for by the charity, Challenge Cancer Through Adventure.
Anyone? If you think you can help, please contact me via dambuster@challengecancer.org.uk
