Garnish GAA Club in West Cork is set to hold a 24 hour event to raise funds for the club and the Irish Community Air Ambulance. The Longest Road takes place on Saturday, February 26th and will see club members and supporters running and walking around the pitch for a full 24 hours. The club is located at the western tip of the Beara Peninsula in the parish of Allihies. The Irish Community Air Ambulance was tasked to the club’s pitch last summer after a visiting player sustained injuries during a practice match. He was airlifted to Cork University Hospital. Rory O'Driscoll is PRO of Garnish GAA Club and one of the organisers of the event, he said, “We’re a small club with approximately 40 players and came really close to folding two years ago. However, thanks to huge local effort we’ve found our feet again. The importance of the Irish Community Air Ambulance really hit home when it was tasked to our club last summer to help an injured player. We’re more than two hours from Cork University Hospital and it is a long road if you’ve suffered a head injury, a bad break or a heart attack. There is great community spirit in the area and we’re delighted to be able to give back to the Air Ambulance. We plan to have players on the pitch from the very early hours of Saturday morning until last thing that night, it also promises to be a great social event with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits throughout.”The Longest Road takes place on Saturday, February 26th and the club says all are welcome to join them for an hour or in their own locality. The club has set up an online donation page: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/11426985_then-longest-road.htmlFor more information about the service or to make a donation directly to the Irish Community Air Ambulance visit https://communityairambulance.ie
