Clonaslee is truly on the map, with the crowds that attended, some as far as Mayo, Wicklow and Clare. Our Facebook page plays a massive part in getting the word out about our walk. Sheila also thanked all our loyal sponsors for their continued support.

Mary Delaney was delighted to accept the funds raised and thanked the people of Clonaslee community for organising one of the biggest fund raisers yearly for Laois Hospice. She gave very informative information as to how the funds are distributed. The funds are in the capable hands of the Laois Hospice Committee, who are all in their positions on a voluntary capacity.
