CAHERLEAHEEN National School held a community fundraiser over the past six weeks in support of their upcoming playground development.
This initiative brought families and staff together for a walking, jogging and running challenge at John Mitchels GAA Club every Wednesday evening.
Over the course of the six weeks, families and friends took part in both 2km and 5km challenges, enjoying the opportunity to get active together while supporting this valuable project.
