WALK TO CROKE PARK FOR PIETA HOUSE

This Saturday 23rd May, starting at sunrise (4 am) from SuperValu, and by doing laps of the town (5km) in a relay format we intend to walk the equivalent distance from Ballybunion to Croke Park in aid of Pieta House. We are looking for walkers and joggers to help us complete this. The cost is €20 per adult, €5 per child or €30 for family. It can be paid on the day. Social distancing will be adhered to at all times. People will leave SuperValu every half hour right through the day. Phone or Whattsapp us and let us us know what time suits you. Great if your times are flexible as we want to keep going all day until 10 o’clock that evening. Don’t worry if you can’t make it to Ballybunion, you can still donate and walk/jog the 5km close to home.

Come and join on the fun. Please spread the word to all your friends and family near and far.
