'Come along!': Limerick man invites the public to join him on 5km walk for charity
John Loftus is taking part in a year long 2,000 km walking challenge in aid of Cliona’s Foundation
LIMERICK man John Loftus is inviting the public to join him for a charity walk in aid of Cliona’s Foundation.
He is asking people to join him for a 5km walk as part of his year long 2,00 km walking challenge.
John is undertaking the challenge between his 79th and 80th birthdays, raising funds and awareness for Cliona’s Foundation and the families they support throughout Ireland.
Cliona’s Foundation “provide financial support to families of seriously sick children to help with the significant non medical costs of caring”.
The Great National South Court Hotel is supporting John’s efforts by hosting the 5km walk.
John is particularly keen to emphasise that everyone is welcome: “It is not about speed or fitness - it is about bringing people together, enjoying the walk and supporting a wonderful cause.
“I’d love to see as many people as possible come along. You don’t have to be a serious walker, just come along, walk with us and enjoy the morning.”
“Every person who joins us is helping Cliona’s and the families they support,” he added.
The walk starts at 10am at the Great National South Court Hotel, on Thursday, October 1.
All support is “greatly appreciated”.
