Louth people urged to join LauraLynn’s 100K in September challenge

LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children's Hospice, is inviting people in Louth to lace up their runners and take on the 100K in September Challenge.  

LauraLynn is asking the public to walk, jog or run approximately 3.3km per day throughout September. This sponsored challenge is a vital fundraiser supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

LauraLynn Fundraising Manager Cathy White commented: 

"Taking part in the '100K in September’ challenge is a great way to build a healthy habit while making a real difference. Whether you walk, jog or run, every kilometre helps us continue providing essential care and support to children and families across Ireland. It’s a beautiful thing to do, especially if we get a sunny September.”  

Participants can register on the LauraLynn website to receive a free t-shirt and their own sponsorship page. They’re also encouraged to join the Strava Club or Facebook Group for tips, motivation, and community support throughout the challenge.
