Neighbours run 190km for charity

Two neighbouring families have, in an overnight challenge, run almost the length of Co Cork to raise funds for the oncology department in the Mercy University Hospital.

The families completed the 190km ‘Phil’s Road Run’ after leaving Mizen Head in Co Cork at midnight on Friday. They arrived in Youghal on Saturday evening after a number of friends and neighbours of both families took part in the event.

The event was run in memory of a mother, Phil Terry, who died from cancer late last year.
