Almost €7,000 was raised at GOAL Mile events in Westmeath last December.

In addition to the long running GOAL Mile events in Mullingar Shamrocks GAA and Multyfarnham on Christmas Day, an event was also held in Castledaly GAA on Stephen's Day. Nationally, over €750,000 was raised for the aid agency’s lifesaving humanitarian work around the globe.

Speaking about the success of GOAL Mile 2024, Siobhan Walsh, GOAL CEO said: “GOAL Miles have been running across Ireland every Christmas since 1982 but the 2024 GOAL Mile was a truly exceptional one for so many reasons, and not only because we broke our fundraising record. We were of course delighted to welcome AIB back for their fourth year as our GOAL Mile partner.

"And we benefited greatly from the kind support of campaign champions including Ciara Mageean, Bernard Jackman and the entire Shamrock Rovers men’s first team. Their well-known voices and faces raised our GOAL Mile voice and profile.

"But most of all, we send thanks to the wonderful 200+ GOAL Mile organisers across the country for their time, and commitment in organising their Mile so expertly. They are the essence of this hugely successful campaign.”
