Praxis Care had volunteers running in the fun run and relay as well as completing the full marathon.
We had volunteer runners from throughout Northern Ireland including projects in Kesh, Derry and Portadown
All monies raised from the marathon will go towards supporting the local work of Praxis Care.
It is through these volunteer efforts that Praxis Care is able to provide accommodation and support services for people with mental ill health, learning disability, acquired brain injury and dementia”
