We are absolutely thrilled with the participation in our first January Challenge in aid of East Coast Samaritans. Participants walked, ran, swam and cycled their way through January taking on 20 mins exercise across 20 days. Well done to everyone who took part, there was smiles all month long and we hope this is only the start for you all.
An amazing €924 has been raised for the East Coast Samaritans.
