Relay For Life Carlow announce their 'painful decision' to cancel this year's event

Relay For Life Carlow have had to "make the painful decision" to cancel this year's event.

In a statement on Facebook, they said: "The committee of Relay For Life Carlow have had to make the painful decision to cancel this year's event.

"As you can appreciate, an event of this nature takes a lot of organising and is very dependent on volunteer support.

"We are currently working on restructuring our organising groups and we will return with a full Relay For Life event in 2020.

"We would like to thank you all for your support over the last 9 years and we look forward to working with and for you all again for our 2020 event."
