140 laps for Standing Tall

CLAIRE Hilsdon set herself a goal to run 140 laps of Lake Hamilton in 140 days to raise $1000 for Standing Tall in Hamilton’s goal of $140,000 in 140 days, which is well on target having just passed $100,000 in 100 days. Ms Hilsdon has decided to walk the 140th lap this Saturday, August 27, at 4pm, starting at the Lakes Edge Adventure Playground on Rippon Road, Hamilton, and is hoping many people will join in with her.

WHILE Standing Tall in Hamilton (STiH) just reached $100,000 last Saturday – the 100th day of their 140-day fundraiser to raise $140,000 – one Hamilton woman is doing her bit towards the goal and will run her 140th lap of Lake Hamilton on Saturday August 27, at 4pm for $1000.

As one of Standing Tall’s volunteer mentors, Claire Hilsdon set herself the symbolic target of 140 laps of Lake Hamilton in 140 days to coincide with the STiH fundraiser that began on May 12.
