Daingean AC stage great fundraiser for new facilities
Naomh Mhuire Athletics Club, Daingean
The big day arrived on a sunny Saturday morning across Ireland when teams were waking up and getting set to start the big fundraising challenge for Daingean AC's new track and facilities. 26 miles collectively within their teams, with the help of family and friends’, walkers, joggers and runners taking to all 26 counties all doing different distances, there.
There was great support in every county to help get those miles in. Some teams even completed the full 42k each. Plenty of great photos and great videos for all counties. There was plenty of great highlights from all city’s towns and villages.
Again, without the help of all teams and their sponsors this big challenge for our new grounds and new club house this weekend and fundraiser would not have been possible. We want to thank every single person and business who have sponsored our members. We are very grateful for all.
To all who supported our Teams and had the believe in them to complete this as a club, thank you.
We will update again shortly with the full total count of what distance was actually every county ran and will update next week with the final total we have raised. We are ever so close and with the link still opened for another few days to close and finalize everything.
With so many pictures if would be impossible to get everyone in. The picture here was taken last Sunday evening 6 days out from the county challenge with captains and team mates
