Leonie keen for young and old to attend Goal Miles

GARDEN designer and broadcaster, Leonie Cornelius, is encouraging young and old people to get out and take part in one of two GOAL Miles taking place across the county this Christmas and New Year period.

The Miles will once again offer people an opportunity to exercise, have fun and help raise money and awareness for some of GOAL’s most vital programmes in the developing world.

The organiser of the Mile at Rosses Point Golf Club, Robert Fitzpatrick, said: “I want to encourage everyone in the region to come out and join in the GOAL Mile fun over Christmas. Whether you are young or old, and no matter your level of fitness, it’s a great way to get some exercise over the festive season and help raise some money for GOAL’s programmes overseas. You can run, jog or walk the Mile – the choice is up to you. There is no need to register, just turn up on the day and donate what you can.”

Miles will be held at the athletics track in Sligo IT on December 27 th from 12-1pm; and at the Golf Club, Rosses Point, on St Stephen’s Day from
