Titanic Run 2010- A Day to Remember


A big thank you to everyone who came and supported our Titanic Run for Hospice on Sunday 27th June and helped us to make it such a great event. 

This year almost 300 runners, walkers and joggers took part and there was much excitement as everyone gathered at the start line.


Once again this year the sun shone brightly for this event and everywhere you looked was a sea of purple with nearly everyone wearing a hospice t-shirt or donning a fancy dress outfit.  As well as the run / walk there were new attractions introduced this year for runners and spectators to enjoy, such as the vintage car and trike displays and listening to the music of Dundonald Community Concert Band, while the kiddies enjoyed the inflatable slide and getting their faces painted.
