Jolly Joggers:
Jolly Joggers present €5500 to SOSAD
Due to COVID the Jolly Joggers annual New Years Day
run took place virtually in 2021. This year was the 12th
annual run and over the previous 11 years in excess of
€60,000.00 has been presented to cancer charities.
This year the chosen charity was SOSAD.
Due to the pandemic, many people have found their
mental health challenged and SOSAD are available to
anyone who might need to avail of their services.
A Gofund Me page was set up and people were asked
to make a donation and complete 6k /10k run or walk
in their own time between New Years Day and Jan 6th.
The Jolly Joggers were overwhelmed by the response
and are so pleased to be able to donate €5,500 to
SOSAD.
We would like to thank all our sponsors and all those
who made donations and completed the run/walk. We
also appreciate the assistance given by Rory Geary and
the Northern Standard and by Emyvale.net.
Although it was a very different Jolly Joggers New Years
Day Run, it was lovely to see so many sending in their
photos of themselves and family groups after
completing their run/walk. Hopefully New Years Day
2022 will see us return to the usual format.
In the meantime stay safe everyone and thank you
once again.
