Laois triathlon club is asking the nation to show ‘We Care’ this June and raise money for carers nationwide.
Trilogy Triathlon Club plan to host a virtual 100km in June fundraiser, in conjunction with Pop Up Races and Eventmaster.
The ‘We Care’ campaign’s premise is simple; run, walk, jog or cycle 100km in the month of June.
Pupils from sixth class at Scoil Ghormáin Naofa have raised over €3,000 for a worthy cause.
Ms Ní Shuilleabháin s sixth class laced up their runners to complete a Santa Dash on Friday for St Vincent de Paul.
The sixth class pupils were given a great send off, with class bubbles cheering them on with a Christmas disco in the yard. The children received motivational words from two local gardaí, with the garda car siren heralding the start of the run. First across the finish line were Niall Kavanagh and Mark O Donnell. Each child crossed the ribbon at the finish and they were all presented with a medal and certificate by deputy principal Anne Gilmartin Ryan. They then enjoyed a hot lunch provided by two generous parents.
