Happy Hula Monkeys Race for Life 2009

With the aim of raising money for Cancer Research - A big THANK YOU to all those that sponsored and supported the Happy Hula Monkeys as they hooped their way around the 5km course on Sunday 19th July under threatening rain clouds and in gale force winds! A few times along the course my hoop actually felt like it was levitating when the wind took it! Hooping against that wind was tough I imagine we all now have abs of steel!

16 amazing ladies from the Happy Hula Monkeys classes or honorary monkey friends registered to complete the course in their spangly hoops.

I am so proud of the girls that took part they all shone. Great attitude, great hooping in great big gusty winds and thank goodness we only got a little wet when the hovercraft took off! What a fabulous team I hope it was a day you wont forget.

I had originally set this video to the theme tune from The Monkees but You Tube ate it so I had to replace it with one from their selection of miserable copyright free tunes. Sorry if it doesn't fit very nicely!
