Six Local men raise £11,320 for Charity! UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Turn to page 40
Brigid McElroy (Foyle Hospice) receives a cheque for £11,320 from Mickey Cunningham on behalf of the six local men jointly raised the money by running in the London Marathon. Also pictured are Liam Maguire, Shaun Colhoun, Jason Ward, Dominic Carlin, Dale Coyle & Sean Carlin.

All six runners safely negotiated the challenging 26.2 miles albeit with quite a few aching joints and blisters but also with an immense sense of pride and achievement.

It would be impossible to thank everyone individually but we do have to give a special mention to our fundraising coordinator Mickey Cunningham of Melmount Community Forum who helped us out so much with our fundraising.
