Breakfast on the Run is the healthier side to fundraising. Whilst it doesn't have to involve running, it's a great excuse to get together with friends and theme your event around exercise and fitness. In this case, just thinking about exercise delivers some benefits. So get active for breast cancer research!

Remit your payment before 15 November 2011, for a chance to win some fantastic prizes relating to your chosen breakfast theme.*

Here are some great ideas to help get your breakfast off the starting blocks.

Create a real winner with your Breakfast on the Run:

• Encourage everyone to wear sports gear, whether that's simply tracky dacks or maybe their favourite sports uniform
• Ask everyone to come dressed as their favourite athlete
• Organise your breakfast outside in your local park or in your garden
• Use a whistle when you need to get attention and keep your team-mates in order!
• Design your menu as a scorecard or even a game plan
• Do a stretching session between each course of brekky
• Use sports or fitness terminology in your invitations and event communications
• Serve meals in breakfast box (rather like a lunch box) for real breakfast to go
• Serve drinks in paper cups
• Share out left over food in doggy bags - takeaway style

Menu for Champions – great for breakfast on the go:

• Fruit salad and organic yoghurt cups
• Selection of freshly mixed fruit and vegetable juices
• Egg white omelette with wild mushrooms and toasted wholegrain sourdough
• Ricotta and Honey on toast or bagels
• Healthy muffins
• Smoothies
• Herbal teas

See the Benefits suggestions – pump up your fundraising:

• Encourage your guests to wear pedometers and get sponsored for their steps in the week before and during the breakfast
• If organising your breakfast at work, arrange a sponsored walk or run to work – with a brekky when everyone arrives
• Devise a Wii sports competition with entry fee
• Have a sweatband shooting competition – losers pay
• Organise some games for adults and children - egg and spoon races, three legged races or a gentle game of bocce with an entry fee to take part
