Charity event for McMillan Cancer Support 11th Aug

04 August 2012 by Scunny Independent News

On Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th August 2012 Lizzie Tuvey and Breeze Inn, (former Howden’s Lodge Hotel) Scunthorpe are taking part in The Great Big British Portrait Marathon in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support.

 

The idea is to photograph as many people as possible over the weekend. This is not an hour long portrait shoot it is a ‘snapshot’ of Britain with 26 photographers throughout the UK running the event simultaneously and we only need 5 minutes of your time.

You can come on your own, you can come with your family, you can come with your work colleagues or your friends, or even fancy dress, just come along and support us in this amazing event and help us get as close to our target of photographing 2,012 people over 26 hours as we possibly can.  

 

If you spread the word amongst friends and family we may even surpass this target. You will also have the chance to be photographed holding the Olympic Torch kindly borrowed from Cate Neal who ran in the Scunthorpe Olympic Torch Relay.

 

On the weekend we will also be running a prize draw locally and nationally. Local prizes have been donated by local businesses.

 

The event is completely free, but we are trying to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support and it would be great if everyone who attended could make a small donation on the day.  Because of the number of people taking part in this event if everyone who attended only donated £1 we will raise over £52,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support.

Mission Statement

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.

Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute independently with articles of their own.

You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.

Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.

Paul. Founder Visit Scunthorpe.
