Bernadette Bower 'Life for a Life' Tree 5K Cowm Reservoir Race

15 December 2018

Saturday 15 December 2018
11am

From the Cock & Magpie Pub
Cock Hall Lane
Whitworth
OL12 8BJ

Details:

Bernadette raced around Cowm with her husband and children on many occasions with Andems Runners and this race is to celebrate her life and commemorate the determination she showed in her fight against cancer.

Bernadette even raced around this reservoir the day she finished her Radiotherapy when we thought she had beaten the cancer but unfortunately it came back and took her life on the 29th July 2018.

Before the start of the race there will be a tree planting ceremony after which the race will start a short walk away with the tree marking the finish line. 

Please note this is not the normal 5K route, the start will be along the path at the top of the hill to the right of the reservoir and will be a little over 2 laps.

The proceeds will be split between paying for the tree and Springhill Hospice who cared for Bernadette and her husband Garry during the last 4 weeks of her life and continued to care for Garry after Bernadette had passed away.

Prizes for all finishers.
