Major Westmeath GAA Fundraiser Getting People Active In March

Thursday, 4 March 2021 08:58

It's a joint initiative between the GAA, LGFA and Camogie communities.

A major fundraiser which will help fund capital investment in infrastructure and senior teams across all codes in Westmeath is underway.

The Lake County Movathon runs from March 1st until Easter Monday.

It's aim is for people to make the 75km virtual journey from Clonmellon to Athlone without moving outside their 5km.

We call on all Westmeath Gaels, at home and abroad, to take part in our Lake County Movathon challenge to help raise vital funds (for all our county teams and to help in the refurbishment of TEG Cusack Park) and to also improve our physical and mental state.#lakecountychallenge pic.twitter.com/TC5PAhe6HG

Westmeath County Chairman Frank Mescall is hopeful that it will be embraced all over the world:
