A tough but rewarding trip to the Palliative Care Unit today.
I am so pleased to announce the fundraising efforts amounted to €6365 for the Palliative Care Unit where dad spent his last 7 weeks cared for by the most amazing specialist team over there.
As a runner and coach myself who is so passionate about our sport, I was delighted to be able to produce something of significance and welcome athletes of all abilities to run in beautiful surroundings of Tralee.
Since its inception in 2018, The Tralee 10 miler and 5k Road race that takes place on Valentines weekend every year is continuing to grow year after year.
Thanks to the support from so many different sources - emergency services - guards, civil defence and volunteers, all an integral part of its success.
My aim is to enhance participant experience by way of good organisation, a friendly atmosphere and post race hospitality. It can only get better by taking on board constructive feedback to improve on in the next one so my planning hat is already on for year 😊
This year, the events fundraising success was hugely enhanced by the generous sponsorship from local businesses and it was greatly appreciated.
This sponsorship, the raffle money and the profit from the event all went to the amazing Kerry Hospice Foundation.
I would like to extend my warmest appreciation and thanks to all involved.
Thank you for taking part in my event if you were competing, participating or volunteering, making it a very meaningful and special day.
Looking forward to welcoming everyone back next year, 11/2/2024, don't forget to put this date in your diaries😊
