Local volunteer rounds up colleagues to take part in Belfast Marathon
As part of her 50th year bucket list, one of our volunteers enlisted 19 family and friends to take part in the relay race at Belfast Marathon on 5th May, 2019, all to raise money for Samaritans of Newry & Dundalk.
Lisa, a staff member at St Patrick's Primary and Nursery School Newry, gathered 8 colleagues, 2 past pupils and 9 other friends and family members to create several relay teams for the big event.
After lots of long nights running around Newry, all 20 runners finished the course safely and managed to raise a huge £600 for our branch!
Thank you to Lisa, her family and all the staff at St Patrick's Primary and Nursery School. Your support is invaluable and will let us continue to help the people of Newry and beyond.
