Well done, Paul!
Paul Brazzill of Barntown in Wexford completed a 200k run through Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow and returning to Wexford in triumph on Saturday evening 19th July. Paul undertook this challenge to raise awareness and raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis and Marie Keating Foundation.Paul’s challenge equates with almost 5 marathons run over a 7-day period which is a major physical feat and the oft-quoted phrase “the loneliness of the long distance runner” certainly applied along parts of the route. Paul states that it was the greatest physical challenge of his life and he hopes to be back running within days.
We are grateful to Paul for choosing us as part beneficiaries of his fundraising efforts, to Linda Keating for her co-operation with Garda permits and to the many branch members and friends who helped along the route with collections. Alan Corcoran and his colleagues of Southeast Radio who kept Paul’s morale up during the run and the members of his committee who were omnipresent at each major pitstop deserve special mention also.
It is estimated that a total of €30,000 will have been raised through collections and sponsorship.
