Walkers, runners, wanted

Volunteers are urgently required to walk, run or jog on the June 2 bank holiday in the Womens Mini Marathon in Dublin.

"This is a chance to get fit, lose weight, feel good, enjoy the fresh air and chill out," says organiser Phena Bermingham. "Spring is here. Easter is early. Summer is not far away. Let your motivation to help others benefit your own health and well being, and exercising in the fresh air is free."

If you are new to the area or on your own, don't let that stop you. This is an opportunity to meet people and to make new friends. "We look forward to meeting our generous volunteers, of the past two years, and new people too," Phena says. "As a team our aim is to make life a little easier for people on dialysis. Anyone can join our team, and welcome."
