125 Transition Year students from St Flannanโ€™s College and their teachers climbed Croagh Patrick today (Thursday).

In what is a fundraiser for Milford Hospice, Cahercalla Community Hopspital and Cancer Care West, staff and students are climbing the Mayo mountain on Thursday and they will be holding a bucket collection in a flag day around Ennis on Friday after returning to Co Clare.

To date an approximate โ‚ฌ9000 has been raised and the students are well set to pass the โ‚ฌ10,000 mark.

All TY students have been given a sponsorship card while other fundraising methods include direct donations to the school, an in-house bake sale and an in-house bucket collection. Further ventures are planned to take place in the next fortnight.
