Ballinakill National School, Ballinakill Community Development Association and Ballinakill GAA Club Juvenile Section are joining forces to organise a 24 hour 5Km over the course the May Bank Holiday weekend.
All three organisations are focused on nurturing and fostering a sense of place in our children and Laois Ladies football goalkeeper Eimear Barry explained where the money raised will go.
She said: “Over the past number of years we have as a community witnessed a growth in our community organisations as we attempt to support our growing young population.
