We had the honour of having a visit from the local legend Mary Hickey from Arklow on Friday 11th May. Mary has just completed a lap of Ireland running in aid of the RNLI and has raised well over €50,000 for the cause.
Age 65, she has been running for 50 years and has completed all 38 marathons.
The children got to speak to Mary and ask her questions all about her experience and travels as she ran around Ireland.
It was a great morning and a huge thanks to Mary for visiting Scoil San Eoin!
