Team Lancon Runner - Mark Mulryan - Update:
Many of our runners from other Divisions will remember Mark Mulryan.
He is a stalwart member of the Lancashire Team and has attended many
fixtures in previous years, including the PSUK Nationals. He works as a
CDO at Lancaster. To
cut a very, very long story short.......Sadly, Mully developed a knee
injury and stopped running. However, he was recently admitted to Kendal
Hospital for surgery to repair his knee so he could hopefully return to running. However....complications followed the surgery and sadly, his leg had to be amputated two weeks ago! I
have spoken to Mark today and he has taken things well and is in fairly
good spirits. His leg amputation surgery has thankfully gone well. He
was discharged from Lancaster Hospital yesterday to return home to his
family. His
Sergeant at Lancaster, Dave Forshaw, has created a Justgiving
fundraising page with a view to raising funds that will hopefully help
Mully along the way in the coming months. Funds raised will support the
inevitable additional costs that he will be faced with. Mully
is very optimistic, and he tells me that one of his big goals is to run
again for Team Lancon in the not too distant future! We all wish Mully the very best and a speedy return and really hope to see him on the cross-country course soon! If you would like to help him on his quest and contribute, the link is posted below.  |

Likewise, another fantastic season will start in October with 11 races planned at different venues across the North of England.

after each race and a garthering with other Forces makes for a great
day out!
Please give these races your support as
they provide some nice informal running throughot the year and form the
nucleus of our AC activities.
