Relay For Life
The Midleton AC crew are there ready and waiting. Please come up and support and not only that they were there all night and day as well. So proud to be part of this amazing club. Club Captain Claire Fitzgerald's report will follow.
Dear Midleton Relay for Life
Thank you for inviting us to participate in Midleton’s
‘Relay for Life’. It was our privilege
to have experienced this very special and unique event.
When the US Colorectal Surgeon, a marathon runner, decided
to raise money for cancer by running around a track for 24hrs thirty four years
ago watched by so many, we (Midleton AC and others) were delighted to simulate
this at your event.
Relay for life couldn’t have been closer to our club ethos,
that being community, health (through running), memories and team effort.
It is often said that running can be a lonely sport, but most
of our 150 members plus would argue differently. Long runs are filled with
personal stories. Stories that are for the most part, light, or positive, but
others then that are challenging, difficult, hard to talk about and/or hard to
listen to.
At the emotional silent candle lighting ceremony at 9pm,
Midleton AC remembered the stories on the roads, of mums and dads, sisters and
brothers, and the other relations and friends, our past members who lost their
battles and our current members still fighting.
A special mention goes to those who were there throughout
the night. For our part Don McDonald, Helen Gilroy, Mick Murphy, Barry Drennan,
Christine Murphy & Brian Cott. Thank you also to our team captains, Deirdre
Ahern & Yvonne Fitzgerald and their families. These two ladies led from the
front, 18 out of the 24 hours on site.
Midleton Relay for life, thank-you for the privilege of allowing
us to be present over the past 24 hours. This was special and unique which surpassed
any PB or race win. Relay for life will stay with us.
