Inspired by their meeting with the great Haile Gebrselassie some 20+ Irish Rovers & supporters ran the Belfast Marathon Relay in May 2005, raising £1,000. The money was donated to the work of Concern and Save the Children in Ethiopia.
One of the running teams proudly displays the Ethiopia flag (presented to the Irish Rovers on their trip in July 2004.)
