Energise – Spring 2019 – Local Event for Fibro Active
Energise – What Happened?
Energise was part 2 of our quest to connect the community with local services and raise awareness of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We invited local services, clubs and organisations to come along and connect with the local community at West Park on Saturday 11 May.
The Energise Treasure Hunt
Fibro Active’s contribution was a cryptic clue treasure hunt with goody bags for the first 30 finishers and Skinners goody bags and Platinum samples for the pooches. The first prize for the fastest individual with the most correct answers was an ipod Touch, which was donated by Tesco, Long Eaton and was won by Kate Cavagon in a time of 1hour 18 minutes with 40 points.
Fastest Dog
Finally for the fastest dog we had a 2.5kg bag of Skinner’s Field and Trial, Grain Free donated by Skinners and was won by Ernie.
