Message from New York Supporting Leitrim committee
As a show of support to all Leitrim people around the world who have taken part in the 50-Mile Challenge, we are asking Leitrim lovers to join us for a grand finale walk on Sunday January 31 in Tibbetts Park, Yonkers.
Anyone who has not had the opportunity to sponsor someone can still do so online, or in person next Sunday.
We will meet up at 9.45am in front of the main building.
We will have some socially-distant warm up exercises, take some photographs and then disperse for our walk around the lake, which is approximately two miles.
We look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy your walk for Leitrim!
