Rory’s Miles to Mayo to set off from Derry/Londonderry

Alchemy Technology Services has announced its sponsorship of the launch event for Rory’s Miles to Mayo, reinforcing its support for a major fundraising initiative in aid of Cancer Fund for Children.

The launch will take place from 7:30am to 9:00am on 12th September at The Ebrington Hotel, Derry~Londonderry, ahead of the official start of the challenge.

The breakfast event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, business leaders, supporters and community representatives from across the region to mark the beginning of the final chapter in Rory Best’s Miles to Mayo fundraising journey. From Derry~Londonderry, former Ireland and Ulster captain Rory Best will set off on a nine-day challenge that will see him captain a team of business leaders walking nine marathons in nine days, covering more than 235 miles across Ireland before finishing in Cong, Co. Mayo.

Alchemy is proud to sponsor the Rory’s Miles to Mayo campaign launch breakfast and to support the incredible efforts of Rory Best and everyone taking part in this challenge. As a business with deep roots in Derry~Londonderry, we are delighted to help bring together stakeholders, business leaders and supporters to mark the start of such an inspiring journey. Cancer Fund for Children delivers vital support for children, young people and families impacted by cancer, and we are honoured to play a role in backing that mission.

Erin McFeely, Director NI, Alchemy Technology Services

We are so grateful to the incredible team at Alchemy Technology Services for getting behind our third and final Rory’s Miles to Mayo challenge. When we were developing the route for this campaign, we knew we wanted to include Derry~Londonderry. It’s such a vibrant city and we’re privileged to currently support 22 families who live here. Facing cancer is never easy but with initiatives like this, we can continue to provide vital services to ensure families feel supported.

Phil Alexander, CEO, Cancer Fund for Children

The launch breakfast will serve as a key moment to build momentum behind the campaign, recognise the supporters making it possible and send Rory Best on his way from Derry/Londonderry as the challenge begins. There are many ways for the public and business community to get behind the initiative, including donating, sponsoring the team’s efforts and supporting participants along the route.
