P articipants in the recent Womens Mini-Marathon raised an
amazing 35,018.58 in aid of A Smile for Ryan!
A virtual army of 166 women from Duleek, Drogheda and further
afield accompanied Melissa OConnell in her bid to raise 103,353 to
fund lifesaving treatment for little Ryan Coyle who suffers from
Neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. According to Melissa, it
took five months of organisation to gather the group together and
train for the Mini-Marathon, and she admits to being thrilled with
the outcome.
A massive thank you to each one of the 166 women who went to
great lengths to raise as much funds as they could, and for giving
up their day to do this, for putting their trust in me that I could
pull this day off -you are all fantastic! said Melissa. Thank you
to every single person who sponsored us near and far. Without you
we couldn't have hit that figure.
Sincere thanks to Murray Coaches for arranging
transport, Carranstown Inn for the after-party and food, to Nash
and Shane Mc Guinness for the entertainment that rounded off a
brilliant day.

tumour and saving most of his kidney too. This little boy, so
beautiful, gorgeous, courageous and strong is responding to
treatment, much to the delight of his parents, family and friends.
Messages of support from people who know him, or who are following
his progress mean a lot to his family, as does the continued

A replica of the last letter written by Patrick Pearse the day
of his execution was one of the many exhibits of 1916 memorabilia
displayed in Duleek Parish Centre at the recent Easter 1916
commemorations organised by Duleek Heritage Group.
Kept in safe-keeping by a Drogheda woman who received the letter
from Patrick Pearses aunt, Jim Curley was proud to put it on
display and read it out to the sizeable audience. Poems written by
the other 1916 leaders were also read, and paintings of the heroes
by Ben Ryan were also displayed. There was traditional Irish music
and dancing by Comhaltas, as well as The Maguire Family and young
Calum Agnew. Joan Dorey, whose uncle was Philip Clarke from
Kellystown, Duleek and Monknewtown, Rossin, was shot in Stephens
Green, Dublin, also spoke of her uncle.
Refreshments were served and all could relax and discuss their
own personal connections with 1916 and the formation of our
state.
This exhibition of 1916 memorabilia will be on show again in the
courthouse during Duleek Fair Weekend, Saturday 20 & Sunday 21

A fundraiser in aid of a Miracle for David raised over 3,500 for
a Cushinstown boy, adding to the amount raised through a Go Fund Me
appeal. David was lucky enough to be released from hospital just
days before the event took place.
David nearly 14 years old and was born with Cerebral Palsy and
Global Developmental Delay. He is profoundly disabled and needs 24
hour care.
His mother Bernie has organised a fundraising campaign to make
his life a bit easier and to improve the quality of his life. She
needs to get a car suitable for transporting Davids wheelchair. A
suitable second-hand vehicle will cost around 7,000.
David loves to go for a spin in the car, but since he is now a
growing teenager, I can no longer lift him in and out of my old
car, so hes now stuck in the house, explained Bernie, who lives
outside Duleek.
.A 5k family walk/run in aid of A Miracle for David takes place
on Sunday 24 July leaving
Miracle for David
Cloghertown Utd FC pitch at 4pm. Entry is 10 for adults,
children free. Participants are invited to a BBQ in Donnellys pub
afterwards where an auction will take place. Items for auction
would be much appreciated. Contact Bernie on 087-6609130.

Whats On... Whats On...
FORIGE AWARDWell done to the young people and leaders in Duleek
Forige for scooping second place (Silver Star) in a National Forige
competition held in City West at the weekend. Up against stiff
competition, the Youth Club scooped second place for the thorough
planning, implementation and review of their hugely successful
Community Breakfast and Family Fun Colour Run. This event was
planned in an effort to raise community spirit, brighten lives, and
bring smiles to peoples faces, following a spate of crimes in the
locality earlier this year that had people on edge and fearful for
their safety. Well done to all involved.
