We relay wish the Marathon was just a choccie bar

As Easter passes by and we are all left hovering up the remaining chocolate eggs for hours/days/weeks to come, spare a thought for five employees of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as they "relay" wish that the Belfast marathon was just another chocolate egg.
Judith Mcgivern, Aisling Mcmullan, Glenn Monahan, Barry Gribbon, Oliver Mckeown are all putting down the choccie bars and getting in training for this years Belfast Marathon. The team of five will be tackling the course together, running varying distances between 3.5 and 7.1 miles in order to raise invaluable funds for our children's project in Villa Maria.
This project helps to improve the lives of children affected by poverty, crime and drug abuse living in the shanty town of Villa Maria, Peru. Over the last 13 years it has reached out to over 200,000 children and their families through the provision of workshops, housing and education. Team "Choccie Bar's" support will help to ensure the continued success of this project for years to come. To find out more and see how you can support them just click here
