Superheroes join forces for Crumlin run

TWO years ago, Adelina Corigliano’s parents weren’t sure if she’d be alive for her 10th birthday.

But yesterday the bubbly little girl from Whitegate in Co Cork, who turned 10 on Wednesday, was all smiles as she helped launch a new fundraising event for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, which helped her beat cancer.

Brave Adelina, who has been dubbed one of Crumlin’s very own “superheroes”, will take part in the first Superhero Fun Run for the hospital’s Children’s Cancer Fund at Fota Wildlife Park in Cork at 10.30am on Saturday, September 18.
