Thanks for all the support along the way….

Published October 30, 2012 | By Adrian

Just a word of thanks to everyone who was there along the route yesterday in so many places. Regina and Arlene were in about 5 places. Mary on her bike nearly did it with me! Steen and Deirdre the same. Caitriona was there too. Ray and Viv, Declan, Elizabeth and all the Doolans, Fiona, Luke and the kids and Ann, Elaine, my kids and Elaine’s too. Rebecca and Aiden too! Thanks so so much… it got me through. Thanks to the extended family who were at all the races in the park, you can see them from the photos page

Thanks to Ann for going along with me on this representation of Paddy when I came up with the idea, and for believing it was going to be a success in his name.

Thanks too to my mates who, from experience, gave me great insight into this whole thing. Stephen, Rob, Ray, Joe and Barry… thanks for all the info during the challenge.

Thanks as well to everyone who actually ran some of the races in the challenge and raised money! You can see from the pics on the photos page who they are… amazing support from good friends and family too. Niall, Brian Mc, Stephen, Brian C, Aiden, Mary, Regina, Arlene, Ann, Helena, Martin, Adrian, Willie and Harry.

Thanks to Mary for a massive fund raising campaign of her own for this, and to Caitriona, Maria, Orla and Nessa who ran the mini marathon for the cause. To Lorraine Boyle also for her fundraising efforts

Thanks to everyone who’s donated so far to the Irish Cancer Society. My own family and friends and all the relatives, neighbours and mates too on Regina’s side and the Grange Woodbine centre for being a collection point.

Thanks to my Dad for sorting the campaign posters as only he can.

Finally thanks to Regina, who has listened to me moan about this pain and that, listening to what distances I’ve covered and still needed to and for giving me the total free reign to just leave all the important stuff behind and get training. Regina was also at every race with me.

Please forgive me if I’ve missed anyone by name… I’m still a bit detached from reality today!

Want To Get Involved?

Some people have said that they might run (or walk) the 1st race with me and maybe even the second one too... some even said they'd do more then 2 races, but that was on a night out! You can register for the races by clicking here. Let me know if you sign up and we'll meet up on the race day.

Not a runner or a walker? No hassle! If you have any other ideas on how you can help get in touch today... we need all the help we can get to make this big for Paddy!
