A Flood of Support for Relay

The staff at John Flood Estate are so keen to walk in the Relay for Life, they're even getting their partners to join the team.
The 'Flood Alerters' consists of 10 members so far, seven who are from the office.
The team are entering for the first time this year to show support for people in the community they've encountered through the estate agent's that live with, or look after people with cancer.
"We're doing it just for support," team member Sara Flanagan said.
Their fundraising for the event includes bottled water called 'Flood Water' that is available with a gold coin donation from the John Flood Estate Agents, as well as a raffle.
Tickets for the raffle are $1 and the first prize in the raffle is accomodation at Fingal Bay in a self-contained uniy.
Other prizes are a 12-month pass to the gym at the Muswellbrok PCYC or honorary membership at the Muswellbrook Race Club for the 2007/08 race season, including entry to the Muswellbrook Cup Day.
The team has also contacted people in the community by email, asking for donations.
"We've emailed people from our database, rentals, creditors, to ask for support," Ms Flanagan said.
Relay for Life will be held on April 28 and 29 at Muswellbrook Showground.
