MARY O’REILLY REACHES PARK RUN MILESTONE

St Michael’s House vision is to understand service user needs, their wishes and help them achieve their goals.

Mary O’Reilly lives in Boroimhe Willows. Mary is an avid runner and has recently achieved her ‘100 Park Run’ milestone with a PB of 31.00m.

Mary takes part in her local Park Run in Swords, Co. Dublin every Saturday morning in the sun, the rain and the snow. Through her involvement with the Park Run community, Mary has built meaningful friendships with like-minded, supportive people and has become a valued member of the team.

Mary also volunteers as a Park Run steward and has recently become a trail walker. Trail walkers are vital members of the Park Run team where they support and encourage new members to complete the run. This is a highly sought-after role and offers much value to the events.

“Mary is not only an inspiration to all in St Michael’s House but also an inspiration to each and every person who attends the Park Run events. It is very much a two-way relationship.” Sue Pepper, staff member in Boroimhe Willows.
