Kells and Connor YFC raise funds for cancer charity

On Saturday, October 2nd Kells and Connor YFC held a charity walk, walking 18 miles while pulling 180kg in aid of the Cancer Fund for Children.

Some 20 club members set off from a wet and rainy Kells but the support they received along the way kept them going and in good spirits which was incredible.

One of the club’s members Maggie was diagnosed with a brain tumour and the charity Cancer Fund for Children supported her throughout this challenging time in her life.

This was the main inspiration behind such an effort.
