Initially this was just a drunken idea between friends (well on my part anyway!) – something Lisa had always wanted to do; something big to mark my 30th birthday. Unfortunately we hadn’t really considered my Dad’s powers of persuasion at that stage...
The more he told us about the work of Mitchelstown/Ballygiblin Juvenile GAA club, the more we
felt it was something we’d love to get involved with. They’ve already done so much this year to put professional coaches in each of our 3 local primary schools and have HUGE plans for next year.
When we heard that our climb could potentially raise the funds required to fund that training for a WHOLE year we couldn’t believe it and signed up!
The club has almost 200 members aged 5-17 but of course the trainers in schools are for all the
children of the local area. We’re planning to trip to one of their training sessions soon to tell them
about the climb – should be fun!
