8 days to marathon number 4

8 More Days to marathon number 4 and as Ger has named us The Mercy Marathon Mad Crew, I will be joined by an army of Family and Friends taking part in relays in the Cork marathon .  We will have 4 relays consisting of 15 family members from Newcastle West and again the girls from Killarney are stepping up to the challenge and they have entered a relay team.  Thanks Guys and one thing I know in Cork I definitely won't be lonely running the 26.2 miles.

This was another great week for our Derryquay school marathon challenge, on Thursday we went to Derrymore beach and added another 4.08 miles onto our total, well done to all of the Parents and Children for clocking up the miles.

I have to congratulate Cork 96fm who over 3 days held the Giving for Living Radiothon supporting cancer services in Cork with the Mercy Hospital being one of them.  During the 3 days Patients and family members told their stories about their journey through cancer, each and every story was very moving and I was very sad and proud to hear Pat's interview.  This made me more determined to raise as much money as possible for these vital services.
