t is great to be back after our extended break and we are delighted to be bringing you another jam packed edition of My Waterford.


This month we meet local trainer Henry de


Bromhead ahead of his trip to Cheltenham, a racing festival dear to all our hearts. Let’s pray for some luck in the Gold Cup! We decided to feature lots about health this


month and with that in mind we bring you interviews with Waterford man Alan Corcoran, who is undertak- ing a 500km swim in honour of his late dad Milo, as well as our low-down on running, and all the excuses we come up with not to run! Plenty to inspire you there. We also bring you health advice from our resident


doctor, Dr Mary Cooper. Nutritionist Jemma Kehoe explores the link between food and our mood. We look ahead to the Solas Cancer Support


Centre’s Dance for Life 2017 and meet some of the contestants on their launch night. In our house & home section Anita from Aoki


brings us up to date with trends in our homes. We also have a spring cleaning section with advice on how to get your home spruced up and fresh for the spring season. Plus, we have our regular features The Scene, Busi-


ness, GIY and our beauty columnist Victoria Walshe has fabulous home-facials to rejuvenate your skin for spring.


Enjoy, My Waterford Team
