The Model Army 96km Charity Challenge kicks off on Saturday 1st of May and concludes on Sunday 30th May.
This is a joint fundraiser between Wexford GAA and our 2 pillar Charities, Cottage Autism Network and County Wexford Hospice Homecare.
We are asking Wexford people across the county, Ireland and all over the world to walk, jog or run to cover 96km (just 3.1km per day) over the month of May and donate to help raise funds for the Wexford GAA Inclusion Programme, Cottage Autism Network and County Wexford Hospice Homecare.
As part of the Wexford GAA Inclusion Programme, a sensory garden will be developed at our Centre of Excellence in Ferns. The sensory garden will be the first of its kind in any sporting location in Ireland and will provide a safe environment for children to use before, during or after coaching clinics.
Join the Model Army, Participate and Donate!!
