🏆🏁 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS, FINTAN! 🏃💜

We are absolutely delighted to congratulate our branch member and NAC Chairperson, Fintan Bray, on completing his first-ever half marathon at the Belfast City Half Marathon! 🎉👏

Fintan proudly wore his Purple Run T-shirt alongside his sister Kathrina and brother Fiachra as they took on the challenge together. 💜

Fintan has been training incredibly hard for this achievement — even fitting in some laps around the park before our Purple Run photoshoot, where he challenged Joe McCarthy to a race! 😄🏃‍♂️

Fintan is a fantastic ambassador for the Purple Run and is encouraging everyone to get involved:

💬 “The Purple Run is a different way to spend time with your family and friends. If you are new at it, I want to wish you the very best of luck.”

Well done again, Fintan — what an achievement! 👏🏆 We are very proud of you! 💜
