Trio complete Cavan leg of 32 marathon challenge

 

Three Belfast athletes are on course to completed 32 marathons in 32 days, with the Cavan leg run in memory of Erica Ní Draighneain, who Erica's Fairy Forest in Cootehill is named after.

In aid of the Children's Cancer Unit at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital, Paul Tyrell, Noel McNally and Niall Farquharson completed the incredible feat by running 17 laps of the Cootheill Parkrun route at Dartry Park earlier this morning.

The crew are on day 13 of their nationwide challenge.

Little Erica adored visiting Cootehill and her Grandparents, the Fitzpatricks, at Station Road, Cootehill.
This Fairy Forest in Cootehill was created by the parents of Erica Ní Draighneain, (2010-2016) to honour their daughter's memory and her unshakeable belief in fairies and magical kingdoms.
