LIMERICK hurler Aaron Gillane was among those who helped turn Monagea
blue at the weekend as the Monagea for CRY charity walk and cycle.
The hugely popular annual event returned over the May bank holiday
weekend, with a 5km and 10km walk/run and a 100km cycle taking in some
breathtaking views of West Limerick.
Minister Patrick O'Donovan and Limerick councillor Richard O'Donoghue
were also in attendance, as crowds turned out to support Cardiac Risk
in the Young (CRY) charity.
The first Mongea for CRY event took place in 2012, in memory of Niamh
Herlihy (21) and Darra O’Donovan (15) who died, suddenly, within eight
months of each other, during the previous year.
A decade later, it has become one of the flagship fundraisers for the
Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) organisation.
More importantly, however, it has contributed hugely to raising
awareness of the risks of sudden death syndrome throughout Limerick.
