10 Runners

Two Teams

1 Victor!

For the past two years we have entered a relay team into the Belfast marathon but this year we wanted to do something a bit different. 10 young people stepped forward to take the challenge of racing against each other over the Belfast Marathon course. 

Why we're doing it is to raise money for two charities. The Link Family and Community Centre works to provide support for disadvantaged and marginalised people in Newtownards. The runners all come from Project 23 which works with young people aged between 12 and 25. The other charity is FASA which looks at providing counselling and support for people with drug, alcohol or mental health issues. Recently the community has been affected by the death of a young man from drugs and it was felt that we should be doing something positive about this. All the young people agreed and wanted to get involved.

Please give generously to support the work of both charities.
