Teresa raises €3,000 for latest charity walk

-

FOR decades, Teresa Flaherty has been walking around the world to raise money for charity.

And this year’s excursion took her to Croatia and Medjugorje as she took part in her 17 th Cystic Fibrosis Internatio­nal Walk.

This year, a group of 30 people travelled to Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovin­a in September, with the group raising €85, 327.

Teresa thanked all the local people and businesses who help her fundraise for the event, generously helping her to reach her fundraisin­g target of €2, 980.

She is already getting ready for her 2018 walk, which will take her to Romania for the Paddy Kierans Internatio­nal Walk in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Ireland.

Teresa has travelled to places such as Cuba, South Africa, Mexico, The United States and many more as part of her charity walks.

As one of Sligo’s most prolific fundraiser­s, there is no time to rest, and she will soon be out fundraisin­g for her next walk.
