A memorial walk/run has been organised in memory of highly popular Laois man Alan Mulhall for Sunday, October 14.
Alan’s wife Vikki is holding the walk to mark his 35th birthday. Vikki picked Emo Court to hold the event and on a Facebook post on her page, she described it as being, ‘one of our favourite places with the kids’.
She also added: “It would be great to have all our family and friends together to celebrate his life.”
Alan, who worked as an electrician, was killed in a workplace accident while working in Dublin last November. Together Alan and Vikki had four young children – two sets of twins, three boys and one girl.
Highly involved in the community
Alan grew up in Emo and played Gaelic football and soccer with Emo from underage right up to the adult grades. He attended primary school in Emo and secondary school in Mountmellick.
In the most recent years of his life, he became very involved with Stradbally Town soccer club and Stradbally GAA club.
Those who wish to attend the event in memory of Alan are asked to meet at the cark park beside the house at 12pm.
