The Melbourne Rose has called for more education and tougher sentencing for drunk drivers.
Dervla Dolan’s 18-year-old brother Enda was killed by a drink driver in 2014, on her 16th birthday.
Ms Dolan, who’s from Co.Tyrone, set up the “Run for Enda” in memory of her late brother; which has hosted several half marathons with hundreds of participants - in Tyrone and Melbourne.
