Mayo cancer charity announces fundraising abseil challenge

Local charity Mayo Cancer Support Association will be joined by representatives of Mayo GAA for the official launch of a thrilling new flagship fundraising event on Friday, July 25.

All are welcome to attend Hastings Insurance MacHale Park in Castlebar at 7.30 p.m. that evening for the official launch of the Brave the Drop fundraising abseil challenge.

This event offers people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of abseiling 150 feet from the roof of the GAA headquaters – Croke Park in Dublin – while raising much-needed funds for Mayo Cancer Support Association, which provides support to people who have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis or bereavement.

Mayo Cancer Support is the official charity partner of Mayo GAA this year and there will be lots of well-known GAA personalities in attendance at the event launch, where you can find out more about the challenge or maybe even sign up to Brave the Drop.
