St Pats 1000km Challenge

St Patricks GAA Club are looking to raise money for The Azheimer Society of Ireland Wicklow Branch

1000km in 2 WEEKS - Walk/Run/Cycle

Monday April 20th - Monday May 4th



Living with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia can be a challenging journey for everyone involved. Dementia is the name for a range of conditions that cause damage to the brain. This damage can affect memory, thinking, language and the ability to carry out everyday tasks. There are many conditions which cause dementia.  Alzheimer’s is the most common cause.  Each person’s experience with dementia is unique to them.  Dementia may last many years, sometimes progressing faster, sometimes more slowly. This means that it is not possible for anyone to tell you exactly how the condition will progress and how long a person can live with dementia. 

The Azheimer Society of Ireland Wicklow Branch run daycentres, family/carer support groups, social clubs, family carer training courses, schools and community education talks and telephone family emergency support within Wicklow.

Due to the current lockdown, like many other charities, The Azheimer Society of Ireland Wicklow Branch are missing out on much needed funds.  Dementia is a condition that has affected families within our club and that is why we would like to help.  By raising as much money as possible we hope to assist The Azheimer Society of Ireland Wicklow Branch in providing care and support for families around the town.  

Please support our lads  and contribute what few euro you can. Every little helps!  Fundraising initiatives have been hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic and support is needed now, more than ever!



St. Patrick's GAA Club will help by:

St. Patrick's GAA Senior Football Team have decided to organise a 1000km Challenge.  Over a 2 Week period the lads will attempt to collectively Walk/Run/Cycle 1000km and we are looking to raise €1 per kilometre.  

We encourage everybody to participate by donating to this worthy cause.

This challenge will take place from Monday April 20th until Monday May 4th.!! 


The lads will log their distances through social media so keep an eye on the St Patricks GAA Club Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages


PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD & DONATE TO THE WORTHY CAUSE.
