The final amount raised on the 24-Hour Walkathon organised by Eire Og Annacarty Donohill GAA Club was an incredible €121,376.

In a statement, the club says “For a small rural club, this is a huge achievement and a testament to what can be accomplished when an entire community comes together to work towards a common goal. It is a fantastic example of everyone playing their part to achieve something truly special.
“We sincerely thank our camogie and juvenile clubs for their tremendous support of this fundraiser.
“The club also thanks everyone who walked, donated, volunteered or helped out on the day of the walkathon in any way, whether big or small. There are simply too many people to mention individually, but your contribution and support were greatly appreciated.

“There are also a few businesses we acknowledge for their generous support:
* Borrisoleigh Bottling for supplying water throughout the event.
* Crowe Meats for sponsoring the sausages for the barbecue.
* Ryan Inflatables for sponsoring the equipment for our Family Day.
“The Astro Turf project is one of the most ambitious developments the club has ever undertaken financially. While further fundraising will be required, every euro raised from the Walkathon will go towards the development and gives us a fantastic start towards our goal of raising €200,000 over the coming years.
“We encourage everyone to continue supporting our weekly Lotto and thank our Lotto Committee for all their hard work. The Lotto is fundamental to the financial running of the club and plays a vital role in supporting our activities and future developments”.
