Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>The family of a much-loved Killarney woman who passed away from cancer almost a year ago plan to run a marathon past her favourite local landmarks in her memory.</h3>
 Linda Eviston died on October 10 last after a long battle with cancer.
 Her husband Patrick and son Erik, with the support of her daughter Alannah, will run a 42.2km course, on the day before her anniversary to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society.
 The route will be based on landmarks that were an important part of Linda&rsquo;s life. Starting from the family home in Dromkerry, before heading for the town centre and passing the Eviston House Hotel, Linda&rsquo;s grandmother&rsquo;s home at Park Road, Linda&rsquo;s childhood home and national school in Glenflesk, Loreto where Linda attended secondary school, back to Killarney and finishing at Linda&rsquo;s pride and joy &#8211; Brook Lodge Hotel.
 &ldquo;It is tough but we wanted to do something in Linda&rsquo;s memory and help other people who might find themselves in similar circumstances,&rdquo; Pat told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;We originally hoped to do the Dublin City Marathon but that got cancelled. This route is much better, but much tougher as it&#8217;s more hilly.&rdquo;
 All proceeds will be donated to the Irish Cancer Society and donations can be made via: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/inhonouroflinda.
