Chernobyl Children’s Project International (CCPI) is searching for 100 very special women to take part in the Cork Women’s Mini Marathon on Sunday 26th September. We need YOU to become ONE of 100 women to help us continue to make a huge difference to the lives of children who suffer from serious heart defects, as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Through the support of World Championship silver medallist Olive Loughnane and 100 caring women, we hope to make the first year of the CCPI 100 Women Campaign a great success.

Fires sweeping across Russia threaten to re-release nuclear contamination from the Chernobyl nuclear explosion in 1986. In the aftermath of the disaster, radioactive particles settled into the soil and today these particles are locked inside trees and dead leaves in forests in areas of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Environmentalists are warning these particles could be released into the air once again by wildfires and blown into other areas by the wind.
