The Sisters in Blowney, the Nuns in Blowney, the Halfway in Blowney.

You know, well, they go under the missionaries of charity.

And it's...

It's active love, you know, it's divine province really, like, you know, everything's divine province.

They don't take anything off the HSC or any funding or anything, everything is divine province.

So there was a lady and her daughter come back, they come back every Tuesday night.

They started a running club with the lads, most of them, out of the 16 of them, like probably 15 of them, if not 16 of them, they go out there, do the running.

They all, most of them ran the marathon last year, some of them did 10k, one guy done the full marathon, you know, the lovely, lovely lad, doing very, very well, gone out of there two years.

I meet him all the time, I bump into him all the time and we see him with his son and the smile back on his son, his son is about eight, the smile back on his son's face and the love he has for his son, like, you know, and addiction took all that away from him, like, you know.

And the sisters out there as well.

They're amazing.

A lot of them did the 10K then as well.

So we met.

We went to different areas where we, different, onto the 10K track and we went over to the full marathon to see that lad coming in as well.

Like, we just, we just missed it.

There was a tragedy there as well.

We just missed it.

We were just gone, like, you know, and we heard about it because the guy who organised it, he was there for the girl.

Like, you know, he was there when that happened.
