Fundraisers in Rochdale donned pink outfits this morning (Sunday 24 October 2010) for a gym session to raise money for charity.
Twenty five men and women took part in a two hour “gym-a-thon” at Fitness for Life gym on Rooley Moor Road to raise funds for registered charity Breast Cancer Campaign.The session ties in with the charity’s “Wear it Pink” day and members wore various items of pink clothing, one man took part in the actives dressed as a panther and the ladies wore pink wigs, hats, tights - one lady even donned a pair of pink wellington boots!Organiser Lesley Stott was delighted with the event, she said: “We have been doing this for a number of years, everyone here has been touched by breast cancer in one way or another – I lost a friend and my sister-in-law between four and six years ago and Paul Brophy, who also took part, his wife suffered from breast cancer but she is all well now. So we have all been touched a lot.“This is the fourth time we have done this. We generally raise £1,000 every year for the Breast Cancer Campaign; our next event is a pub crawl.”The gym participants enjoyed an hour step class and a fun party games fitness class. Afterwards they unwound with pink food and a raffle. Prizes were awarded to the best dressed male and female.Summing up the event Ms Stott said: “It has been good fun, we all got a good sweat on but it has been a brilliant day. It is a really good do; I love this month because we have so much going on.”
Winner of the best dressed male went to Rochdale Web Designer, Jon Pudny, who dressed as a pink Elvis for the event.Mr Pudny said: “Today went really well. It had been hard trying to find a pink outfit so I ended up going for a fancy dress costume. It has been good fun and it is all for a good cause.“Thank you to all the girls from Falinge Park High School for the money they gave me, and everyone else I have seen. People can still sponsor me online until the 29 October.”Those who took part paid £5 for the classes and all of the money raised from today will go to the Breast Cancer Campaign.To sponsor Jon Pudny visit: http://www.justgiving.com/Wear-it-pink-Gymathon

I'm feeling all "Retro" today, some serious pixel love being thrown at The Space Invader Couch. Now I know what your thinking pixels are uncomfortable! Not these bad boys, the couch formed of leather over a memory foam base, with a couple of glass surfaces over the arms... great so where do you get one? Well, at the moment its only a prototype - but Igor Chak (the designer) is looking for a partner to manufacture and sell a limited edition series. Lets hope he finds one soon... I want one.
