CLIMB WITH CHARLIE

On April 2nd, the Climb With Charlie up Croagh Patrick took place in aid of Motor Neurone Disease and Pieta House and various walks around Ireland also took place.

In Kilbehenny Community Centre 95 people of all ages registered to climb Galtymore and funds raised were in aid of the Jer Spillane Fund. The total sum raised on the Galtymore climb was €12,450.27. That money has been put into an account in Mitchelstown Credit Union for the Spillane family.

A huge thank you to everybody who climbed, walked, assisted in any way on the day, the volunteers who worked tirelessly in the community centre making teas, etc. to the people who donated cakes, etc. last by no means least to the organisers Carmel and John O’Gorman, Mitchelstown together with Moss Fitzgerald and the team in Kilbehenny, your professionalism and dedication to the cause has been exemplary.

This same group of organisers are planning a walk to the Galtees for the emergency services that assisted the late Cora O’Grady, who sadly passed away on the Galtees while taking part in the Walk With Charlie. The plan is to have this fundraiser in mid-summer. More information on this fundraiser to come in the weeks and months ahead, watch this space!
