Race for Life: City of London
On the baking hot day that was 31st May 2009, 10 members of RH Tom Cats travelled to Moorgate London
to take part in Race for Life 2009. The girls enjoyed a fantastic day and ran the 5km with the other 6000 women taking
part. The combined total raised by the girls will go toward the £829,000 target set by Cancer Research UK for this race alone.
RH Tom Cats are passionate about fundraising for charity organisations and use their cheerleading talents to gain more awareness for
charities and the events they set up.
Queensmere Shopping Centre Slough
On Thursday 28th May 2009, in the middle of the Queensmere shopping centre, 15 members of RH
Tom Cats cheered up a normal day shopping by performing a variety of stunts, cheers and jumps. Excited members of the
public were treated to several performances of a routine by the RH Tom Cats stunt team who won 1st place at BCA Nationals
2009. Other members of the squad also performed a number of Queensmere shopping centre themed cheers and stunts to amazed
shoppers. The Slough and Windsor Observer Newspaper reported on the days events. The lunchtime entertainment certainly gathered
a crowd and put a smile on the faces of Slough shoppers!
Flora London Marathon for WaterAid
On Sunday 26th April 2009, RH Tom Cats cheered for runners at the Flora London Marathon on behalf
of WaterAid. It was a spectacular day as the Tom Cats stood at the Limehouse cheering point in the bright sunshine. The
cheerleaders stayed until the last people passed them, cheering chants to keep up positive spirits. The runners appreciated
the cheers of encouragement as they passed by at 14 and 21 miles. Tom Cats were delighted by the positive response to
their marathon themed cheers. WaterAid had over 100 runners on the day and RH Tom Cats made sure every one of them knew how
much support they had in their endeavour to raise money for a great cause.
Wraysbury Fair
The Tom Cat cheerleaders hit Wraysbury on a beautiful sunny day to cheer, dance and fly around! Starting
on a float parade the girls could be heard cheering their socks off from miles away. A highlight was cheering for the
passing fire engine who even put their siren on for them! Arriving at the fair the Tom Cats had time to warm up and get some
stunting practice in before their performance. The performance, choreographed by Jess Quiligotti, went very well and the Tom
Cats were definitely a crowd pleaser! After the performance members of the public were given an opportunity
to try out stunting (thigh stands) and to receive a certificate to prove honoury cheerleader status!
It was a fantastic day had by all out in the glorious sunshine.
Blue Peter
RH Tom Cats were extremely priviledged to be featured on childrens favourite TV programme, Blue Peter.
The team were challenged to teach presenter, Konnie Huq, some basic cheerleading stunts. They also performed a routine to
the Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders on the show! It was a fantastic day had by all involved and an experience that won't be forgotten.
