Gazz Hickey - Sat July 15th - Fantastic 4 Fitness - Jigsaw Fundraiser
This Saturday - July 15th - Gazz Hickey & Tom Lattimore from Windmill Gym Garristown are coming together to do a team fitness event to raise money for Jigsaw, young mental health Ireland.
In 2019 we had a tragic event in our area and we are hoping our fundraising can give more resources to anyone who may need help and prevent this from happening to anyone else again in the future.
24 teams will go head to head over 5 fitness based events, until there is only 1 team left who will be our winners, our teams are doing a great job fundraising and so many local business’s supporting and sponsoring the cause.
On the day there will be tasty treats, coffee, food and refreshments for any spectators want to come down and support our teams!
Any donations would be greatly appreciated 👏🏼 thank you!
