“Dedicated pals will run the Colour Dash next weekend, in honour of their friend who led them through the event in 2014 – just months before she tragically died last year. Sarah Knott was just 31 when she passed away from unknown primary cancer last year. Now her sisters and friends are going to honour her memory next weekend and raise funds for The Irish Cancer Society”.
