Charity Walk in memory of Ann Farrell will take place in Lanesboro

Ann Farrell came to live amongst the community of Lanesboro when she bought a house a few years ago in Cnoc na Gaoithe.

She became an instant part of our community and became widely known for her tremendous spirit and friendliness. Unfortunately, Ann passed away almost nine months ago, on October 22, 2024, much to our great sadness.

On Sunday, July 27 a Charity Walk in memory of Ann will take place in Lanesboro.

The walk while remembering Ann will be a fundraiser to raise funds for the Roscommon Mayo Hospice. The Hospice Care attended to Ann throughout her illness and they dealt with her so compassionately.

For everyone that knew Ann and even those that the Roscommon Mayo Hospice has cared for a family member are invited to come along, participate and give your support by encouraging family and friends to come along and join in this very commendable fundraiser.

Contributions can be made on the day or at this GoFundMe page

As we all remember, Ann loved walking and nature and her favourite walk was down to the bog walk where she could watch and appreciate all the nature around her.

The walk will start from the Rathcline GAA club grounds into Clonbonny and to the bog walk.

There will be an option of two walking distances of 5km or the longer loop of 11km. The walk will commence at 12 noon.
