The 5th Year LCVP students organised this year's school walk in aid of Barretstown - A Hole in the Wall camp. Marc Comiskey (5th Year) provides more detail about what happened on 18th May.
The school walk was set up by the 5th Year LCVP class to raise money for Barrettstown, a charity to help terminally ill children. Over €1100 was raised by the school. On Wednesday, 18th May two bus loads left the school at 9am. We set out to walk from Crone Woods to Lough Dan, a distance of about 10km. We were lucky it was only windy and not raining!
