Green & Gold fans to meet up in Ruislip for 50 Miles in January event before Leitrim's clash with London
50 Miles in January Challenge stands at over €136,000 on Thursday morning
The month of January may be over but the last official event of the 50 Miles in January Challlenge for Leitrim GAA and LGFA will take place next Sunday, February 5, in McGovern Emerald Park in Ruislip with a special meet-up for all the Leitrim fans attending the Allianz NFL Division 4 clash with London.
Before Leitrim's footballers doe battle with the Exiles, there will be a large gathering of supporters from both home and away in Ruislip. Over the last month over a thousand Leitrim people have been taking part in the "50 Miles in January Challenge" to raise much needed funds for both Leitrim GAA and Leitrim LGFA.
There has been plenty of activity on social media with loads of shared stories and memories. Everyone taking part is sporting a Leitrim beanie which are getting a great reaction.
Organisers are asking fans in London who have been taking part or wish to be associated with the initiative to attend at the side of the McGovern stand on the club house side for a photo opportunity about 20 minutes before the game.
Entry is free to the game & don't forget your hat, there will be a number of beanie hats available for supporters. If you wish to support the effort you can donate via the link HERE.
