Leitrim footballers, past and present, are inviting supporters across the county to join them this Saturday, May 16th, in a virtual run, walk or cycle to raise funds for Pieta House and Sláinte 2020.
The #LeitrimGAASupportingOthers initiative aims to support two worthy causes:
Pieta House provides free therapy to those engaging in self-harm, with suicidal ideation, or bereaved by suicide. They rely on the generosity of the public whose donations and fundraising make up over 80% of their income.
Sláinte 2020 is a collective fundraising effort to assist the Irish community in the New York area during the COVID-19 Pandemic and is a partnership consisting of The Aisling Irish Centre, Emerald Isle immigration Centre, New York GAA, New York Irish Centre, and United Irish Counties.
Leitrim senior football captain Paddy Maguire has been chatting to Ocean FM Sport’s Austin O’Callaghan about what’s planned on Saturday:
