Hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK. I seriously hope you haven't made yourselves feel sick by overindulging on chocolate today!
The current World Record is held by Dinaz Vervatwala.
Where: India
When: Sept 2012
Participants: 6671
War on Cancer is looking to host this event and aims to have a minimum of 7000 participants. The event will be open to all age groups, however entrants must be able to complete a full class. So if you are thinking of bringing along younger members of your family for instance, please know they will be able to complete the class, aren't likely to get bored 10 minutes into the class and wander off. Only those completing the whole class will count towards the Record attempt.
As you know 2013 is a very busy year for War on Cancer ( just like we like it ) and there are many things going on in the background that will be announced when possible. So I want to give a few indicators regarding the Zumba event. This event is very much in it's infancy right now, over the next few weeks more details will be finalized and announced.
So here we go - get your diary's out!
Saturday August 17th from 1pm at the Bradford Bulls Provident Stadium - Guinness World Record attempt for World's Largest Zumba Class!
You don't want to miss being part of some history making!
I am in the process of finalizing how/where you can pay and get your tickets for this event. I will make sure it is announced on all the social media sites War on Cancer is part of. If anyone could take a poster to their local gym, community centre, mum's toddler group, or your workplace that would be great. Contact me and I'll either email it or post it out to you. It is important to get the poster out far and wide, we want to put Bradford on the map as the location of a successful World Record attempt.
I will be contacting Guinness World Records in the coming weeks to register War on Cancer's record attempt. To find out the costs and book for a Record adjudicator to be on site the day of the attempt for instant clarification if successful or not. This in itself will bring great prestige and coverage to the event.
I will be approaching all local radio/TV and newspapers to get the coverage for this event. If you know anyone who works in any of the media's mentioned, contact me and give me their contact details so I can discuss it with them.
Any businesses wanting to sponsor this great event contact me, this will be mutually beneficial and I look forward to discussing any opportunities with you. Remember that having a premium package in place with Guinness World Records will bring great coverage on their website alone ( which is viewed over 12 million times a year ), War on Cancer will be able to use their logo both prior and after if successful with the record attempt, and any businesses involved through sponsorship will also be on War on Cancer's website ( the new one ) and will get coverage from it too. Media coverage on the day will also be great marketing for those sponsors involved.
The event I hope will be a great community endeavour , where we pull together to raise money, awareness for War on Cancer and people who are newly diagnosed, going through treatments and surviving breast cancer. I hope to see many men taking part in this very fun event, after all men suffer from breast cancer too. You don't have to be superfit to take part in this event....remember we are out to have fun as well!
One in three of us will develop some form of cancer in our lifetime in the UK, many of us either get diagnosed or know someone who has. This is a great event to come out and show your support for a friend, family member....a loved one. Come along and be part of a World Record attempt in Bradford.
Let's put our City of Bradford positively on the map, never were there a better time after the recent heroics from Bradford City, we can keep the community momentum going and extend that feel good factor that has lifted the spirits of our city recently.
I will also in the coming weeks be taking the steps required to register War on Cancer for full charity status, this is a two stage process. I will be looking to complete stage one in the coming weeks/ couple of months.
Then later in the year - stage two and full registration. This is indeed a great moment in the history of War on Cancer and it's drive to make a difference.
Keep looking for more details, and hopefully very soon I can announce the launch of the new website. The web address will be www.waroncancer.co.uk
Until next time
Tracy
