McNamee’s Londis, Miltown Malbay, Co Clare will join over 165 other Londis retailers and their friends and take part in Climb for Joy, which involves scaling Ireland’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohil in Co Kerry on 27th May in order to raise money and awareness for mental health charity, Pieta House.
Paul McGrath was on hand recently to lend his support for the launch of Londis Climb for Joy and acknowledges the vital work Pieta House carries out each day in local communities across Ireland by providing free and therapeutic care for people who are in suicidal distress and those with mental health issues.
According to Kevin McNamee, Londis Miltown Malbay, “We are really looking forward to the climb next week. Pieta House is a very worthy charity and it’s important to have this type of support in our community. Anyone who wishes to sponsor us and donate to Pieta House can do so in store.”
Londis began its partnership with Pieta House in 2016 when over 30 retailers put their fears aside and undertook parachute jumps for the Londis Jump for Joy event last May at The Irish Parachute Club, in Clonbullogue, Co Offaly. The initiative raised over €35,000 for Pieta House.19
