The event spans over five weekends.
A massive virtual fundraiser is kicking off in the midlands today.
The 5k for 50k event is aiming to raise €5,000 each for ten different charities - including six in Westmeath and Offaly.
In keeping with covid guidelines, you're asked to run or walk 5k in your LOCAL area and donate online.
