What an absolute powerhouse! 🚴‍♂️⛳️

Paul Kilcourse just completed an incredible challenge in memory of his late Dad, teeing off on 10 different golf courses across Mayo in a single day!

His epic journey started at the crack of dawn in Belmullet at 4:30 AM and wrapped up at Castlebar Golf Club just after 7:00 PM. In between shots, Paul cycled over 260km to pull off this amazing feat.

We are immensely grateful to Paul for his incredible effort, and to everyone who came out to support, cheer him on, and donate to this fantastic cause. Thank you all so much! ❤️

"We stopped by the NAS base today to support our colleagues on the picket line." A few sandwiches and scones were the least we could do to show our appreciation for everything they do." Thank you to Tara Cafe for supplying the lovely scones. NAS Community Engagement National Ambulance Service (NAS)

Thank you to Fiona Thomas from the Mayo Su***de Bereavement Liaison service and the Family Centre in Castlebar for coming out this evening and giving a very informative talk on bereavement to our Responders.

The Family Centre offers a free and confidential bereavement support service through a network of trained and skilled bereavement support workers across the region. The service is available in Castlebar, Westport, Claremorris, Tuam and Headford. While most people learn to cope with the death of somebody close to them with the support of family and friends it can sometimes be helpful to talk about your loss to somebody who is not connected to you in any way.

All you have to do to arrange an appointment is to contact the Family Centre at 094 90 25900 or email [email protected] Bereavement support workers have been carefully selected and trained through the Family Centre for the duration of one year before they start work with us. They also have access to professional support and further education through our Centre.
