THE 19th MABS Race for Life took place recently, drawing 119 runners despite the chilly weather. Participants from various backgrounds came together to support a crucial cause: raising funds for local residents diagnosed with cancer. This year’s goal is to raise €6,500, which will directly benefit those in need within the community. MABS Cancer Support Foundation plays an essential role in this effort, providing vital services such as counselling, translation, and complementary therapies to cancer patients and their families. Their commitment ensures that people facing cancer receive the support they need during challenging times. The atmosphere at the event was lively, with spectators cheering on the runners and creating a sense of community spirit. MABS gave thanks to everyone who got involved, donated, or volunteered their time to make this event a success. The MABS volunteers worked hard to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.
