Thank you Mícheál Ó hAodáin (Michael Haydon) for taking part in this years Cork Marathon on 4th June 2023, which raised €1100 so far for the upgrade of Westgate transport fleet. It was Micheál 390th marathon and Micheál selected Westgate as his fundraiser again this year. Micheál has quoted the following – “Westgate is a fantastic non-profit organisation that supports older people in the wider Ballincollig and mid-Cork areas. The services provided include DayCare, Social and Active Retirement Group, Community Catering, Sheltered Housing and Transport. Westgate are currently fundraising to buy newer buses for our Transport – some of the buses are nearly 20 years old and need to be replaced. As an older person myself – I’m 70, I really appreciate the great and vital work done by Westgate supporting older people in the community.
