A good contingent (9 Scouts and 4 Leaders) of our Scout Section helped to provide the water station at today's 10K race in Donadea.  This was our second year assiting with this event as part of our aim to contribute to our local community - To Serve our Community and Help Other People (The Scout Promise).   Funds raised by the Donadea Running Club will go to the Little Way Cancer Support Centre which is based in Clane.

We arrived at 10:00 am to set up the water station near the 9/11 monument.  This allowed us plenty of time to fill cups of water and to build some useful 'furniture' - a stand for the Group flag and a coat hanger!  The first runners came past at about 11:15 and there was a steady stream as the 600+ runners made their way around the forest course twice.  We finished up about 12:30 and left the area clean and tidy as we had found it (Scouts leave NO TRACE!)  mention should be made of some of our younger members who where there with their family - Seán, Daithí and Mary Marron did a great job in picking up cups as the runners disposed of them.  Well done to all our Scouts and Leaders!!
