Door–to–door in Castlederg!
He’s only gone and done it. The Rector of Derg and Termonamongan, the Rev Peter Ferguson, has completed his ‘Door–to–Door’ marathon – praying as he ran – in the process raising more than £3,000 for parish projects. He was accompanied throughout the last half of the 26.2 mile run through the ‘Red River Valley’ by Derg parishioner Geoffrey Sproule.
Peter was applauded through the rectory gates by parishioners who’d gathered to support him. One of them, Audrey Robinson, said “Aw, Peter, I just want to give you a hug,” although she restricted herself to joining in the three cheers for the rector.
Minutes after the run, the long distance rector planned to do his stretches, have a shower and then look forward to dinner. “I’ll just do a 10 mile run tomorrow,” he quipped – at least we think he was joking.
