Skryne GFC will be participating in ‘Ireland Lights Up’ 2024. This initiative encourages GAA clubs across the 32 counties to illuminate and unite communities for safe walks/runs during dark winter evenings. Each week, a featured club will be highlighted on RTE’s Operation Transformation.
The event is scheduled for every Wednesday starting from January 10th for six weeks on our community walking track at our grounds in Skryne GFC. Participants of all fitness levels are urged to join.
Our inaugural walk is set for Wednesday, January 10th, at 7:30 pm on our walking track – a large turnout would be fantastic.
Irish Life – ‘Every Step Counts Challenge’ 2024
In conjunction with ‘Ireland Lights Up,’ we’ve also enlisted for the ‘Irish Life – Every Step Counts Challenge’ 2024. Irish Life calls on clubs to collectively cover 4,000km over a five-week period (Jan 10th to Feb 12th). There’s a total of €30,000 in club funding up for grabs from Irish Life, and clubs reaching the target qualify for a draw with prizes like O’ Neill’s vouchers.
Participants are requested to download the ‘My Life’ App and follow these steps to record steps on smartphones/wearable trackers (Apple Watch, Fit-Bit, etc.).
Step 1. Download the ‘My Life’ App here: Download – My Life App by Irish Life.
Step 2. After registering, go to Social > Challenges > Leinster GAA > Skryne GFC.
Step 3. (Optional) Connect your wearable tracker to the ‘My Life App.’ Fitness wearables are not mandatory; having your iOS/Android device in your pocket will record steps via the Health App.
*Note: The steps challenge is for those aged 18 and above, but everyone is welcome to join in the exercise.*
Spread the word to all – the more participation, the better!
