The Marathon 66 for PKRF

Some 66 volunteers have signed to participate in the 2010 Flora Womens Mini Marathon on behalf of the Punchestown Kidney Research Fund. The event is on the Bank Holiday of Monday 7 June.

Over the last four years, almost €78,000 has been raised by the participating ladies from Kilcullen, organised by Phena Bermingham. Among other things, the funds have been put towards running Art Therapy projects in Tallaght and Waterford hospitals, and the PKRF also recently bought three home dialysis training machines for Beaumont Hospital.

Phena says that there are some seats available on the bus for ladies running for other charities.
