The Easter liturgies are a reminder to me of the culminating truth of the Christian faith, the gift of God’s grace and the new life that Jesus offers through his Resurrection…Throughout my life journey the Cross has been a powerful symbol of hope for me because it is not the end. I think of the healing and new life that God has given me through my faith in the Resurrection. I have always believed that Jesus could heal and is healing me. But healing is a process which takes time.

This year’s Kinsale 10 Mile organised by Riverstick Kinsale AC was a sell-out, with 927 athletes from across Ireland braving relentless winds and heavy rain for most of the race. I had a psychological battle as to whether I would run at all but my inner resilence and strength kicked in and I focused on the thrill of competing, the adrenalin of running and the positive endorphins I would feel at the finish.
