Rathdowney and Abbeyleix SuperValu Fun Runs smash €5k target and raise €6,500

The spirit of generosity is still alive and well in Laois.

Breslin’s Supervalu in Rathdowney and Abbeyleix originally aimed to raise €5,000 for the Cuisle Centre, Portlaosie, with their two Family Fun Run/Walks on Sunday, July 15.

Instead, they exceeded this target by a whooping €1,500 to raise €6,500 from the two events.

The day kicked in the Square in Rathdowney at 10am. Abbeyleix held the second race at 12pm with the route beginning and ending at Abbeyleix GAA grounds with refreshments served after the race.

The fee for Adult’s was €10, while kids U-16 went free. Children must be accompanied at all times.

Stella Moran, Director of Services at the Cuisle Cancer Support Centre, Stella Moran, accepted the €6500 cheque from the staff of Breslin’s Supervalu, Rathdowney and Abbeyleix.
