Comedian Alan Shortt and race walker Alex Wright put best feet forward for cancer charity

Comedian Alan Shortt and Irish race walker Alex Wright will soon be stepping out to support a cancer charity walk in Cork.

The pair will be among hundreds taking part in the fourth annual ‘Make Your Mark on Cancer’ charity walk from the The Viaduct to Bandon on Sunday, July 17, in aid of The Mercy Cancer Appeal.

The 22km walk, established in memory of Cork man Mark Prendergast, who lost his battle with testicular cancer in June 2012, is organised by a small group of Mark’s family and friends who are committed to raising funds and awareness for cancer patients and their families from all over Munster.
