The sun shone on the 2nd May 2005, when five amateur athletes took to the streets of Belfast for the city’s 24th Marathon.
Daphne Morton, Claire Duffy, Cat Lundy, Susan Duffy and – the only male – Alex Morton were the five members of The Teardrops.
Between them, the relay team ran the 26 miles of the course in the very respectable time of 4hours 27mins 18 seconds.
The Teardrops set out to raise money for CRY and in particular The Aaron Lundy Memorial Fund.
The team far exceeded their own expectations and raised a grand total of £1370. The photograph (right) shows a very tired but happy team.
