WELL Colin ‘Poshey’ Aherne outdid himself today!

The man who has been working tirelessly to promote the ‘Darkness Into Light’ event in Tralee went out to west Kerry this morning to try to get the support of two very influential people.

The ‘Top Gear’ presenters, Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans, were in Ballydavid this morning for a match between Dingle and An Ghaeltacht as part of their filming and Poshey managed to get the two lads to lend their support to the campaign.

In a facebook post earlier, he described what happened:

“Met with actor Matt LeBlanc today. Had a brief talk with him about what Pieta House do in Ireland and what the walk on May 7th is about. He said it didn’t matter what charity it is, suicide prevention and awareness is massive and he hopes loads of people come out and support this event.”

Similarly he said Chris Evans was equally obliging in the post: “Massive thanks to this nice gentleman Chris Evans for his time to take a picture to help promote Pieta House and Darkness Into Light.”

Well done Poshey and fair play to Matt and Chris for their amazing support for the event. Please head over to the Darkness Into Light Facebook page for more on the event.
