Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) Charity Fundraiser

Join us on August 26th for this Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) charity fundraiser.

Earlier this year, ex-chairman, and lifelong member of St. Patrick’s GFC, Padraic O’Connor, who was also chairman of Louth GAA for 5 years from 2009 to 2014 was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

The services provided by the IMNDA are immediate and free of charge. The association has already been of huge assistance to Padraic and his family, but with 85% of their income coming from fundraising and donations, the IMNDA needs your help.

The Event
The main event will be a sponsored walk from St. Patrick’s Community Centre, see route map which will be started by local Boxing Sensation Amy Broadhurst

There are two options, a flat 7km walk from St Patricks Centre to Bellurgan and back, or a road/trail 11km walk from St Patricks, up around the Jenkinstown Loop and back,

If you like to take part in this very worthy cause:
 The entry fee for the sponsored walk/hike will be €20.00.
 You do not have to complete the entire walk. Do what you can and raise whatever you can. Every little help!
 You don’t have to do the walk at all, simply turn up on the morning of the 26th in the Pats at 9.30am, to help, or donate on the day.
 We are calling on all the football clubs from Louth to take part, you will all be very welcome.
