Congratulations to everyone who took part in our #2kaday initiative for Pieta House.

We had a fantastic 10 days with participation from every group within the club, with lots of pictures and videos being shared on social media.

We managed to raise in excess of €4,200 and as you'll see from the letter we posted on Fcebook from Pieta House, they were thrilled with the funds rasied.

It goes to show how fantstic our club is when we come togther for the right reasons, well done again, and thank you.
