The annual Run in the Dark event had another successful outing as the public turned out in high numbers to participate.
A pop-up edition of the global fundraising movement was held on Thursday to raise funds for the Mark Pollock Trust – with over 350 in attendance and €2600 raised in total.
The Mark Pollock Trust strives to find a cure for paralysis and promotes universal access to eksobionics exoskeletons for paralysed people, stroke patients, those with MS and other neurological conditions.
The organisers would like to extend their thanks to Anita Jackson and Johnny Loughrey for bravely demonstrating walking in the exoskeleton, Brid ni hici, Michael, Danny and Minnie O’Donnell for entertaining the crowd and to cois Farraige Bakery, the Ivy Bistro, Siopa Mhici and Donegal hygiene for sponsoring the refreshments on the night.
