Hope & Dream 10 was “a big success”

By Dan Walsh in Enniscorthy

The organisers of the annual Hope & Dream 10 event are delighted with today’s renewal on The Promenade, Enniscorthy and are saying “it was a big success and great credit to everyone who took part and the large numbers that turned out to cheer the runners, walkers and juggers at the finish line.”

With a registration of 1,675 – up 400 more than last year – at 10.15 am eager and excited participants headed out along the various routes in the country before the fittest and fastest returned to The Promenade some 45 minutes and longer at the end. Everybody finished safely.

Results; Male Section, 1^st Conor Brennan 41 mins 31 secs; 2^nd, Davy Byrne 41m 48s; 3^rd, Sean Doyle 42m 39s. Female Section; 1^st, Sonia Redmond 46 mins 53 secs; 2^nd, Sharon Kehoe 49m 00s; 3^rd, Amy Stafford 49m 42s.

The event is in aid of the Hope Cancer Support Centre. “The proceeds will again go into supporting services for clients and we are in the process of redeveloping the Centre and incorporating new premises into the old,” they said in a statement, and added; “It is important to note that a complete separate funding stream will be utilised to fund the development and no Hope & Dream 10 proceeds will be used for this development.”
