28 INF BN 4x4x48 challenge

We are raising funds for the Childrens Ward in Letterkenny University Hospital. The members of the 28 Infantry Battalion based in Finner Camp, Donegal, have a long history of raising funds for local charities and this year twelve members of the Battalion will be completing David Goggins 4x4x48 challenge. (Adhering to Covid-19 protocols) 

The members participating in the challenge are; Ryan McKinley, Brian Dunne, Stephen O'Donnell, Simon Ward, Kieran Crawford, Mark Gillen, Frank Mulrine, Francis Coleman, Ryan McColgan, Shane McCrory, Micheal Kearney and Ross Flanagan.

This international event is designed so that all participants run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. The event begins at the same time worldwide, and we begin our travels at 0400hrs on 6 March 2021. Our fundraising continue throughout March, with at least one member of the group running at least 4 mile each day until 31 March 2021.

The money raised will be for the benefit of the Children's Ward with a donation also being made to the Defence Forces Benovelent Fund. The Defence Forces Benovelent fund provides economic relief to past and present members of the Defence Forces and their families. After the last year that we have had as a nation, the local charities have suffered greatly and the lack of events have caused their finances to tumble. As members of the 28 battalion and more importantly, members of the local community, we all know a child who unfortunately had to venture through those doors. Let's try and make things a little brighter and little easier by raising as much as we can for the Children's Ward.

We sincerely thank you for every donation no matter how small, every penny counts.
