Ballymena Runners BBQ and Fundraiser for NI Hospice
Ballymena Runners were delighted to be able to return to one of their annual events.
Last Saturday saw members attend the annual Club Family BBQ at Eaton Park. This year the event was hosted by outgoing Chairman, Stephen Brown, as a fundraiser for the Children's Hospice.
An evening of kids races, fine food and an ice cream van resulted in the club racing £450 for the nominated charity.
Pictured here is Club Chairman, Stephen Brown, Muriel Barr Secretary and Maureen Giles of Ballymena NI Hospice Support Group, accepting the club's donation.
