The first ever Sutton Beast Big Colour Blast was held this weekend (16th July) with 260 people of all ages taking part.
The fun started with some top tunes from our resident DJ and a fun warm-up by Sam Godfrey before an explosion of colour set everyone on their way around the crazy course, armed with their own pack of coloured powder to throw as they went.
There were three Blast stations to negotiate where everyone was covered by a hail of colour by our on course Powder Ninjas, before going on to negotiate some tricky assault course like obstacles to complete the route. Many of the participants went around again and again and were barely recognisable when they had finished!
The event was hosted by ITV’s very own Donovan Blake and was kindly supported by local businesses.
FTR Suspension – head sponsor. Cheffins, Bretts Transport, Treetops Soft Play and GVS – Godfrey’s Vehicle Services
Event Organizer Martin Pickering said: ‘We couldn’t have wished for it to have gone any better. Everyone entered into the spirit of it, resulting in total colour carnage and loads of fun. Also we are delighted to have raised a good sum for our chosen charity Breast Cancer Now, which means an awful lot to our organizing team who have been closely affected by the disease.
The money raised is enough to:
- Help 10 people affected by breast cancer get vital answers by calling our free Helpline. No question is too big or too small, and all calls are answered by breast care nurses and trained staff
- Pay for somebody with secondary breast cancer to attend a Living with Secondary Breast Cancer face-to-face group. These support people by giving them expert information and a space to meet others who are going through the same thing.
