M2M Challange

This summer, members of the Irish Air Corps and associates raised thousands in aid of Lakelands Area Retreat and Cancer Centre (LARCC). As you know LARCC, based near Mullingar Co. Westmeath, provides essential support and care to recovering cancer patients. LARCC has a strong association with Comdt Frank Russell, a retired member of the Irish Air Corps who is himself a recovering cancer patient.

The funds were raised by a group of participants in a Mizen Head to Malin Head Walking / Cycling challenge (M2M2010). M2M2010 which started on the longest day of the year, Monday 21^st June and finished on Friday 25^th June 2010.

The table below shows a brief outline of what was the M2M2010 itinerary.

Each participant in M2M2010 was expected to raise a minimum of €400 by selling tickets for a limited draw priced at €50 each. The draw was limited to not more than 1200 tickets and had a very attractive top prize of a Toyota Yaris! Tickets were also sold to those who did not wish to participate in the event, but did however, wish to support LARCC.  All prizewinners have been notified.
