Dual charity fun event

Community Pharmacist Lynne Vautier, owner of Vautier Pharmacies for the last 25years in Palmerston North sponsors a number of community sports events. Lynne has sponsored more than 17,000 participants in various sports events with her New Zealand made personalised “Happy Heart” socks. She encourages everyone to exercise daily as part of a happy and healthy life style.

“Our Happy Heart socks have been phenomenal. People just love them and we see them being worn all around the world. We are in the process of setting up a Happy Heart Socks face book page so we can track them where ever they go.” –Says Lynne Vautier.

This year Vautier Pharmacy is hosting The Women’s 10km Classic a Charity Fun Run/Walk on Mother’s Day. 11 May 2014. The 10km Fun Run/Walk will sponsor the Sweet Louise foundation for women with advanced breast cancer where they hope to raise $10,000 so it has been coined the “10k for 10k” event.

Lynne encourages everyone to wear Hot Pink for real impact in support of Breast Cancer awareness.

This event will be run in conjunction with the Jennian Homes 5km Fun Run/Walk fundraising for The Heart Foundation. Hosting dual fund raising events together for both the 5km and 10km events should prove to be a wonderful experience for all the participants. The course is flat and scenic going around the lagoon, along the Manawatu river side and through the beautiful Esplanade so we hope to attract a good number of participants.
