Those walking or running in the annual New Year’s Day charity walk in Timahoe will be able to size themselves up against the McDonald family from Ireland’s Fittest Family.
The runners up in Ireland’s Fittest Family will be leading the 17th annual walk.
Fossey Hills will set the scene for both the 6k and 10k routes – as Ballyroan take on Timahoe in a battle for the fittest communities.
Jokes aside, this walk is for everyone and anyone in hopes to raise much needed funds for vital services.
All funds raised on the day are going towards the Irish Wheelchair Association and Maura O’Brien’s Fatima pilgrimage fund.
Organiser Johnny Dalton hopes that everyone will meet in Timahoe village to ‘shake off the Christmas cobwebs’ and raise money for the charities.
Refreshments will be served in the community hall afterwards.
Sponsorship cards are available from Maura or Johnny on 087 9073323.
