Jason Kelly and John Sheehan raised over €900 euro by running the 2010 Cork City Marathon. The money will go towards the purchase of a new Access dinghy which is urgently needed to meet the huge demand for sailing by children with varying disabilities in Kinsale Yacht Club. Currently over 30 children from the age of 7 to 19 are sailing every Saturday morning. Coaches and volunteers provide the necessary training and support to facilitate this activity which is now in its second year. Huge praise and thanks go to Jason and John for their efforts in raising this money.
