The lads would like to thank everyone who contributted to the fund in any way big or small. At the Presentation Night P.J. McHale said "the tremendous financial and moral support we received made it well worth it". Michael Downes from Mayo Roscommon Hospice was on hand to accept the cheque and thanked the lads for their great work. "It was a great achievement; running the Marathon is bad enough but occupying yourself with Fundraising while preparing adds to the difficulty, well done lads"
