Team LeisureWorld are to take one million steps in 17 hours for Cork Penny Dinners on June 20th 2020, from 04.56 - 21.56 (sunrise to sunset)

The aim is to raise funds and give back to the community by taking on a one million step team challenge at their pitches in Bishopstown and Churchfield on the longest day of the year for Cork Penny Dinners, a charity close to their hearts. LeisureWorld’s fundraising initiative will be a collective effort and will involve the team walking continuously for a 17 hour period with social distancing observed at all times.

The monies raised will be donated to Cork Penny Dinners to support the services they provide to individuals in crisis. Since the pandemic, Cork Penny Dinners need help more than ever.

The challenge lead and LeisureWorld ManagerRob Stapleton said: “We are always keen to help our communities in any way we can. We all need to come together, support and be there for each other now more than ever. We are looking forward to the one million steps challenge in June and to working as a team to help out this amazing charity. ”

The team will do a number of live updates across their social media channels on the lead up and during the challenge.
