Olympic hopeful signs new partnership with Keane’s CarePlus Pharmacy

There was great excitement at Keane’s CarePlus Pharmacy, Green Road last Monday as they launched their first official ambassadorship with Olympic hopeful Jack O'Leary and their newly revamped store.

As part of their partnership, Jack will make regular monthly visits to meet with Keane’s pharmacists and health teams who will work closely with him over the next few years to help him stay in peak performance during training and competition times.

Jack will receive expert medical, vitamin and nutritional advice from their highly trained pharmacists and health advisers.

“We are thrilled to have Jack on board as brand ambassador for Keane’s CarePlus pharmacies. We are passionate about ensuring our team and customers are happy and healthy and we are delighted to do our part to help Jack feel like this too on his journey to the 2024 Olympics,” said Group CEO, John Keane.

Jack, who left Iona College in New York late last year to achieve his long term ambition of representing Ireland at the Olympics, said that delighted to have signed a partnership with a progressive local firm such as Keane's Care Plus.

“I'm only getting into the world of professional sport and Keane's is one of my first sponsorship partnerships that I've signed. I'm absolutely buzzing with it,” Jack told the Westmeath Examiner.

Currently working part time in the office at his family's stud farm in Killucan which he can fit around his training schedule, Jack says securing sponsorship is vital if he is to fulfil his potential and make the Irish team for Paris 2024.

“In three weeks time I am heading to an altitude camp in the Pyrenees for about a month. I am racing across Europe all summer, then I am heading back to the Pyrenees in September and then Kenya in January. Money doesn't grow on trees. Hopefully over the next year I can run fast and get more support from companies like Keane's that can help my dream become a reality over the next couple of years.”
