Offaly Camogie Panel Set For Marathon Fundraiser

Friday, 5 February 2021 07:14

They've been receiving messages of support throughout the week.

There's less than 24 hours until Offaly undertake a 24 hour stay-at-home runathon to raise funds for jigsaw and for their year ahead.

Members of the panel will take 30 minutes stints on the treadmill between Saturday and Sunday morning.

They'll be joined by members of Offaly LGFA, filling slots between 8am and 3am from their homes.

Offaly GAA Chairman Michael Duignan and other members of the men's panels will also lend a hand.

They're hoping to raise €5,000 to help cover costs of running their inter-county season and also make a significant donation to their local youth services.

The team have been busy preparing this week but they have received a message of support from Open Champion Shane Lowry:
