MEDICAL staff in the Oncology Unit in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital who are eagerly looking forward to running, jogging and walking this year’s Drogheda10K were delighted to be joined at the Unit by members of the Drogheda and District Athletics Club and supporters of Necret in advance of the race this Sunday, May 6th.
NECRET whose focus is to provide funding for activities that will improve the treatment and outcomes of people with cancer attending the Unit were thrilled this year to be the selected charity partner of the race.
Speaking at the unit, Professor Bryan Hennessy wished to thank the organisers of the event for kindly choosing Necret.
He also expressed his sincere gratitude to the nearly 50 runners intending to do the Drogheda10K in aid of Necret and wished them all the best on the day and also the local businesses who had so generously sponsored the new Necret hi-tech t-shirts for those doing the event on the day.
