THE people of Kerry are asked to stand with GOAL this Christmas as the annual GOAL Mile Fundraiser returns, supported by AIB.
The Irish humanitarian aid agency is launching this year’s hugely popular event for people across Ireland and abroad, with registration now open at www.goalmile.org.
The annual event sees people across the country gather over the Christmas holidays to run, jog or walk a mile in support of vulnerable communities across 14 countries where GOAL works in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

Started first in 1977, this year’s GOAL Mile is supported by AIB in the first of a new three year partnership, announced last month.
This year marks the first time that both in-person and virtual GOAL Miles are taking place following the move online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic, over 170 GOAL Miles were organised across Ireland, with approximately 50,000 people raising over €250,000 in 2019.
To register for your local GOAL Mile or to arrange one at a new location, please visit: www.goalmile.org.
