Bears How many K’s in 30 days fundraiser
I recently went through a very tough time in my life. I lost my brother and father within 3 months of each other and I also had gastric surgery to help me lose weight.
After my fathers death I took on a challenge to complete 3.65 million steps in the year 2021. A challenge I completed on the 23rd may this year
some of you will have followed this on the Facebook group I set up.
I got unbelievable support throughout this challenge and a lot of people suggestedthat I use it as a fundraiser.
I wanted to keep that as a personal thing that i completed in memory of my father and brother.
So I have decided to take on a challenge as a fundraiser and try to challenge myselfTo see how many kilometres I could walk in the month of June.
I have set up a Facebook page to update on the progress and there is a prize of €500 which I will sponsor for whoever can guess the closest to the correct total of kilometres for the month.
The proceeds of this will go towards organisations that are close to my families heart.
namely the GAA and the Irish Wheelchair Association.
I would like to raise enough to get my fathers name on the patron wall in O MoorePark in Portlaoise
and if there is any extra I will donate it to the local IWA
