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.

Irish Fans watching the recent soccer Euros supported A Smile for Ryan, raising 4,284.02 in just two matches in a pub collection! A cake sale in Duleek Girls School also raise 2,000 for Ryan. This figure was doubled by landscaper Aiden Ryan & Co, bringing the total to 4,000.

Slimming World Duleek is holding a coffee morning for A Smile for Ryan on Friday 8 July 11.30 -1pm.Adm 5. Raffle that morning. Bag packing in Tesco in July will also contribute. New ideas always welcome.

Kym Keogh of Simpson Stage School is organising The Team Challenge on

Saturday 27 August in the TLT Theatre in aid of A Smile for Ryan. Guest act is the Adult Academy from Xtreme Style Studios and the competition crews. Tickets on sale in July.

Ryan recently underwent successful surgery, removing 93% of his 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 fundraising. As their slogan says, We did it for Ryan.

over 15 minutes.

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.

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

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.
