FINN VALLEY AC’s Barry Gallagher won last night’s Igloo Run For Sonya 5k in Ballybofey.
Gallagher won in 17 minutes and 16 seconds, ahead of Letterkenny AC’s Sean McFallen (17:22.5) and Simon Ward from the army (17:23.7).
Levina Merritt of Finn Valley AC was the leading female, finishing in 20:53.8.
A total of 260 participants turned up for the event to raise money for Sonya’s Battle – in aid of Sonya Hamilton Mc Closkey, a 35-year-old mum of five who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Sonya’s family launched the appeal in a bid to give her a fighting chance against the aggressive illness.
Sonya, who is from St Johnston and living in Ballybofey, hoped to raise €2,000 to cover the cost of specialised tests in the UK, which could determine the alternative treatment options available.
A Go Fund Me Page has raised over €36,000 of a €50,000 target.
