Down Ladies Team Runs 100K Fundraiser For two Local Charities
The Down Senior Ladies ran a successful Team 100k fundraiser in memory of their fellow team mate and good friend Siobhan McCann back in May.
They raised a fantastic total of £13,500 which will be shared between two local charities, The Cancer Fund for Children and the Southern Area Hospice.
Altogether, 21 Ladies Gaelic clubs from across Down took part in the event along with the Down Senior Ladies team, Down County executive, Down LGFA referees and two local gyms, Bodyrox Fitness and Hillmount Fitness.
Last Tuesday night cheques were presented to both charities with each receiving a fabulous £6,750 each.
This event showed and amazing display of togetherness throughout Down and further afield.
The Down GAA family wishes to thank you and everyone who supported it.
A big thank you also to both Carryduff and Bredagh Ladies who jointly won the Team 100k challenge and donated their winnings to the two charities.
