As part of the Ardonagh Graduate programme, the Arachas cohort of graduates are putting on the hiking boots as part of the Community Project of the programme.

The ESG Community Project is an initiative setup by the Ardonagh Academy for the Graduate Programme, which aims to bring graduates together to collaborate on a fundraising project and to raise money for a good cause.

This year’s graduates are taking on a physical challenge to raise funds for charity. The group of grads will stick on the hiking boots and climb Tonelagee mountain on Friday the 29th of August, and are raising funds for Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross in Dublin.

Craig Cryan, Jack Ginnelly, Ross McInnes, Sam Kenny and Tim Lambe are grouping together and are aiming to raise €1,000 for the project, with all funds going to Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross.
