Eamon, from Killurin, Offaly, will be joined by 20 supporters of Irish development charity Gorta-Self Help Africa, when he jets off for this year’s edition of the popular Great Ethiopian Run in the heart of the country’s capital, Addis Ababa. “I’ve supported Gorta-Self Help Africa for a long time, and am looking forward to joining the team in Ethiopia. I want to do my bit to help unlock Africa’s potential, and invite the Midlands community to help me along the way,” he added. Gorta-Self Help Africa Business Developement representative Ronan Scully, whose family come from Clara, is organising the trip, which he says will raise over €50,000 to support the charity’s work. If you would like to help Eamon organise a fundraising event or support him in his cause, give him a call on (087) 7168272 .
