Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 23 Sept 2007

The Osteoporosis Australia Strong Bones Team was a standout in The Blackmores Sydney Running Festival, held on Sunday 23 September. As an official charity, over 120 people ran or walked for Osteoporosis Australia in the event and raised money for research into osteoporosis.

We would also like to thank our Strong Bones Team captains
Guy Leech and Susie Maroney.


Workout for your bones, 5-11 August 2007

Workout For Your Bones was held during National Healthy Bones Week in August. Over 200 fitness centres took part in the campaign, holding events and selling Osteoporosis Australia Bone Pins. There were some extraordinary efforts made to raise money, which included organising raffles and even staging a trivia evening! It was a wonderful way to spread the message that bones love exercise, and over $14,000 was raised for bone research.

Congratulations to the prize winners for their hard work and fantastic result in raising funds for Australian bone research during National Healthy Bones Week.
OA wishes to thank all those who participated across Australia and also worked hard to raise money.
Many thanks to Reebok for providing the prizes for the highest fundraisers, and to Australian Fitness Network for supporting the event.
