A great day’s fun is in store for all participants whether they walk, jog or run (or do a combination of the three!)

Fiona Kieran, from the Southern Area Hospice, who will be running for the tenth time, appeals to ladies throughout the region to take part in the event this year.

Fiona said: “Last year more than 60 women took part for Southern Area Hospice and we had a brilliant day out. The organisation of the event in Dublin was fantastic, especially considering the fact that there were over 40,000 women present!

“I also want to thank everyone who participated last year and helped us to raise such a huge amount of money. I look forward to seeing new and old faces on June 3 and hope we are as successful again.”
