Ep 426 Running a Half Marathon for Charity and 70th Birthday Celebrations

In Part 1… We’re in Birmingham with Keely Tattersfield and her daughter Katie as they train for the Big Half in London on Sunday 7^th September.

Both are running to raise funds for the Irish Youth Foundation.

Established 35 years ago, The Irish Youth Foundation (UK) is the only national charity in Britain specifically aimed at helping disadvantaged young Irish people and their families.

In Part 2… We join John Clarke from County Mayo as he celebrates his 70^th birthday party.

Set up as a complete surprise by his wife Helen, John was expecting a quiet pint with some friends but instead got the shock of his life!

Join John along with his friends and family at St John’s Parish Centre in Chorlton, as they party into the night.
