The popular Castlebar native walked 100km across the month of September

In recent weeks, popular Castlebar native Adrian Coady raised close to €10,000 for the Jack and Jill Foundation.

The 82-year old well-known publican walked 100km during the month of September in aid of the charity. His efforts saw him raise €9,595 for the organisation that does great work across Ireland.

Adrian joined his local Life Pharmacy team to help support more than 500 families from across Ireland who are caring for children with severe learning disabilities, often associated with very complex medical needs.

A keen walker, Adrian regularly walks around his native town while he has been left blown away with the support he received in recent weeks.
