Ger Keane Fun Run

13 July 2010

Ger Keane Fun Run

The Ger Keane fun run was a fund raiser to help raise funds to make Ger’s Ballycasey home accessible for wheelchair use.

            On the day the sun shone brightly, a good omen for what turned out to be a fantastic show of community solidarity. Festivities continued with a terrific evening’s entertainment in the Shannon Knights where a barbecue and refreshments were available for the runners and walkers.

In all €6,000 was raised. Ger, Yvonne and Adam wish to thank all who took part in the run, those who gave donations, sponsored prizes and supplied their services free of charge.

Well done to Adam and Sean who were the first children to finish the 5kilomerter run for Ger Keane. I think they should have gotten some prize but they didn't get 1 little thing. Sean says ''It was great fun running and after the race some people came up to me and Adam and asked what prizes did we get/'' Sean says '' I run for fun NOT competitively!!
