Munster stars join in fundraising bid for Cian

MUNSTER Rugby have lent their support to the August Bank Holiday Monday 6km run and walk in Kildysart in aid of the Cian Cleary Benefit Fund. The annual Dermot Power Memorial Run and Walk will start at 12 midday at Kildysart National School on Monday, August 4.
“Last week, the fun run committee took a trip to UL where we met rugby players Jerry Flannery, Declan Cusack and Conor Murray,” the committee explained. “They graciously stood for a photo with us to help promote this great cause. We also hope that some of the Munster rugby team will take part in the fun run and walk. Cian’s parents, Jacko and Sheila, had been members of the festival committee for many years and brought so much to the festival. As we are so grateful for their efforts and energy they brought along with them, we would like to give a little back to them by donating the takings for the fun run and walk to aid Cian in his recovery,” the committee added.
Entrants can register at the festival office on Friday (July 29) at the festival office from 7 to 10pm, on the Saturday from 7 to 9.30pm, Sunday from 3 to 6pm or on the Bank Holiday Monday from 10.30am to 11.30am in St John Bosco Community School. There will be a prize for the funniest dressed person in the run and walk.
