A Counsellor at PIPS Hope and Support in Newry ran her first full marathon in Paris back in April raising the sum of £300 for both PIPS and The Pantry Foodbank.
Regine Candau raised money via GoFundMe. Candau said "I am raising awareness and funds for PIPS Hope and Support & The Pantry Foodbank. Both charities rely heavily on the goodwill of donations so they can deliver their services to our community.

" PIPS Hope and Support provides immediate therapy to anyone with suicidal thoughts, high levels of anxiety, poor mental health or bereaved by suicide.
"The Pantry Foodbank is based in Newcastle, Co. Down, established in 2014 by all the churches in the Newcastle area to respond to the need of local families for food and resources. These volunteers work tirelessly in ensuring no family goes without food and need our support to ensure they can continue to do so "
PIPS also received a cheque for £400 from Paul and Marie Hanna this week.
