Great Wild Atlantic Marathon Walks 2020
10 August, 2020
Message from GWAMW Committee
This month long challenge is a joint initiative by the Courtmacsherry RNLI Lifeboat Station in conjunction with Barryroe GAA in the promotion of the Respect the Water Campaign to help prevent drownings at sea or on inshore waters. It is facilitated by The Great Wild Atlantic Marathon Walk committee comprising of members of both organisations. Over the past three years, €23,322 has been raised from these walks for the Courtmacsherry RNLI Lifeboat Station and with all other local Lifeboat fundraising events cancelled so far this year, this is a very important source of funds to help fund the 365 day service that the RNLI provides around our coast. The Courtmacsherry All Weather Lifeboat has remained on active duty during the Covid Lockdown and will continue to do so in the months and years ahead.
We look forward to creative challenges at whatever distances and target the Month of of August, when hopefully we will be returning to a new normal across the world.
Let the 2020 challenge be ...to walk a Marathon...whether you do it in one day or 30 days!
