Please see poster below for details of Meath Partnership and Healthy Ireland’s online talk with Niall Carroll tomorrow the 7th of December from 11am.
Niall Carroll founded and organised the highly regarded ‘100k in 30 days’ campaign. The ‘100k in 30 Days’ campaign started off as a fun community based event, in Blackrock village, Co. Louth seven years ago. An event was created to encourage some healthy competition and activity amongst locals in the community. All proceeds raised (over 3 million) have been donated into breast cancer research.
We would like to invite you to attend the session on the 7th of December. We hope that hearing from Niall will be both a source of inspiration on how he turned a difficult time in his family’s life into a worldwide success.
