Members of the public are being invited to take part in Cork’s annual relay race on the River Lee which supports the work of Diabetes Ireland in Cork. Cork companies such as Starwood, Apple, Red Hat and many more battled it out last year for the ultimate title of ‘Champions of The Lee’ in the Cork Canoe Challenge. This year's event will take place on Saturday 7 June at 1pm and will see teams of 10 members each take to the water in the name of charity.

The entry fee is €15 per person and each participant will be provided with a sponsorship card with a target of raising €100. All donations are welcomed. For more information and a registration pack, contact Pauline Lynch of Diabetes Ireland at 021-4274229 or email [email protected].
