Sarah Swaine cheque to help 93 children with cancer

A cheque for €4,636 is on its way to the children's cancer charity Aoibheann's Pink Tie following last night's roundup evening by the Sarah Swaine Memorial Run organisers, writes Brian Byrne.

The evening in The Spout included an auction of racing gear worn by jockey Kevin Manning when he won the English Derby on New Approach in 2015, signed by Kevin and a number of other jockeys.

Music by CatC and John Swaine kept the evening going until after the auction and raffle of many spot prizes donated by businesses and individuals.

Thanking everyone for all the support to the Run and the evening, Sarah Swaine's aunt, Carrie Swayne, said the amount raised would allow 93 children with cancer to have a weekend away.

The total included €1,320 raised in Cross and Passion College by students in a Civvies Day.

A birthday cake was presented during the evening to Carrie.
