seriously rich?!

Seriously rich?

Hi team!
So you know someone who is Seriously Rich? They obviously haven't been giving enough of their hard earned pennies to the various groups who Buzz supports! There is still time though!
This evening we will be running and walking our way around the river, leaving 6pm from the Goodwill Bridge. After, we'll celebrate our month of collecting for the Ride To Conquer Cancer with warming ales (or similar!) at the Ship Inn for anyone who wants to join us.
Our usual Friday ride (6am Goodwill Bridge) will be our first August ride and the first collecting and supporting South Sudan Salvation. This organisation is trying to raise funds and support families in Awiel, who are suffering from the impact of war in the Sudan. Please consider donating to this very worthy cause, and encourage as many people as you can to come along to Buzz  in August. Stay tuned for more details on SSS as we progress through the month.
Hope to see you soon! :)

Winter update

Hi again Buzz-folk!
As the financial year is well and truly over now we thought an update (and celebration) of recent donations was in order.
Most recently, for the month of June we lent a hand and put our $2 towards the Vinnies 2012 Winter Appeal. We gathered $51.40 over the month, thanks to you guys for turning up each week and chucking a gold coin in the tin!
In May we helped one of our own Buzz team members, Michelle, in her Live Below The Line challenge- a week of living on $2 per day.
If you, like me, feel like the year has flown by and need a little recap here it is:
June- St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
May- Live Below The Line
April- The Reach Foundation
March- Beyond Blue
Feb- Mental Illness Fellowship of Qld
Dec/Jan- Indigenous Literary Foundation
November- Cancer and Bowel Research Trust
You can continue to donate to any of these organisations- their links are above.
So, a huge thankyou so much for your support in Buzz's first year- as well as all of these donations we've also met some wonderful new people, reconnected with old friends, and done something good for our health, hearts and community!
Please keep on spreading the word so we can get more people involved and enjoying the fun (and raising more money)!
Our usual run/walk is on tonight (and every Tuesday) leaving at 6pm from the Goodwill Bridge.
Our ride group takes off at 6am on Friday morning and finishes up with coffee, usually done and dusted by 7.30.
Thanks again and look forward to seeing you soon!
:)

Another week, another opportunity to Buzz!
Now that we've passed the solstice it's only a matter of time before we're running and riding in the sunshine again... in the mean time there are plenty of running and riding events coming up through the Brissie winter. Sign up and then come and join the group to train together... so then we can celebrate together!
Tuesday 6pm for running and walking, Friday 6am for a ride. Both leave the Goodwill Bridge and are $2 a pop, so we can give to charity.
Send in your suggestions for next months charity, come along, get involved!
See you soon!
:)

Congratulations - we made it!

Congratulations to the amazing group who made it through the Gold Coast Marathon on the weekend! It was great to have so many buzzers out there and a great excuse to spend the weekend in the sunshine, eating, drinking and celebrating 5's, 10's and half marathons... and to watch and be inspired by the marathon - is anyone keen to ramp up the distance for next year?!
Thanks so much to all those who cheered, supported, fed and watered us over the weekend.
We'll be back with recovery runs this week- tonight 6pm at the Goodwill- time to run into July!
:)
