BREED FOR SPEED
Lyn McPherson Memorial “Breed For Speed” Trotting Mares Sprint Series Final
4th June 2010 – Tabcorp Park – Melton
Dear Member
On behalf of Harness Racing Victoria in support of the Women’s Cancer Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Institute I invite you to attend the inaugural running of the Lyn McPherson Memorial “Breed For Speed” Trotting Mares Sprint Series Final to be held at Tabcorp Park Melton on 4th June 2010.
Following the recent death of my wife Lyn who succumbed to ovarian cancer, Harness Racing Victoria approached me and suggested that the “Breed for Speed” Series Final be named in honour of Lyn. I was overwhelmed by their thoughts and in addition to this Harness Racing Victoria, in particular Chief Executive Officer Mr. John Anderson, have determined that the series and its concept be in support of the Women’s Cancer Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Institute.
With this in mind, and noting that a large portion of industry participants are women, the thought of supporting the Women’s Cancer Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Institute allows all industry and allied participants to help create awareness of this disease and financially assist the Women’s Cancer Foundation- Ovarian Cancer Institute in their research efforts.
I attach a copy of the Series Launch material and advertising document and also details of the Dining Package and contacts for bookings. Bookings can be individual or multiple with tables of 10 available as may be preferred.
I trust you will take this opportunity to support Harness Racing Victoria as a whole and assist the Women’s Cancer Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Institute in their efforts of fundraising to find an effective treatment for this disease.
You will note that the series has attracted series sponsors and the support of major studs across the industry. I look to your support and participation going forward to ensure this event is a marquee event for the industry this year and into the future.
Thanking you in anticipation of your support.
Yours Sincerely
Duncan McPherson
