This morning, Tommy Marren spoke with Orla Freeman, the widow of Shane 'Peach' Freeman. Shane, who was a much loved member of the Kiltimagh community, passed away last September after a six and a half year battle with colorectal cancer. Shane spent the last weeks of his life in Mayo Hospice, where he and his family experienced the extraordinary care and support provided by the hospice staff. Shane was a husband, father of three, teacher, golfer and a keen runner who completed the Dublin City Marathon in 2017 and 2018.
In memory of Shane, a group of 56 runners-known as Peach's Runners- will take on the Dublin City 42.2km Marathon this Sunday, to riase funds for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice. Already the group has raised nearly €50,000.
