Donabate 5 Marathon Walk A Thon

Due to business closures and lockdown from covid, the knock-on effects for local sporting clubs abilities to meet and fundraise has been severely reduced.

Keelings has always been a place for meetings, fundraisers through quizzes or music events and of course the social nights.

Many of the crew from Keelings have some form of involvement with the clubs and have come together with a plan to help give something back to five of the local sporting clubs on the peninsula.

Stephen is going to walk a marathon (42.2 kilometeres) every Monday in June this year and will be joined in some form or another by some of the crew.

All monies raised will be split evenly between the five clubs making sure that when the time is right to get back, all the great clubs will be ready to start back from childrens nursery levels to full senior sport across the community.

The five clubs will be St Pat's GAA club, St Ita's and Portrane Athletic football clubs, Portrane Hockey club and Lambay sports and Athletics club.
