Maurice McIlroy of Ballyrickard Road is appealing on behalf of World Gospel Mission (WGM) for groups of all ages from all denominations to help raise money for WGM’s on-going recovery work in the earthquake-stricken area by taking part in this year’s Belfast City relay marathon.

There are five stages over the 26-mile circuit, so teams are invited to enter five people to run or walk distances from three to seven miles.

With workers established there for several years, WGM has given an assurance that all money raised will go directly to the people of Haiti.

For details please contact Maurice McIlroy on 07831 807777 or email [email protected].
