Help Fight Global Hunger This Christmas By Running A Goal Mile

Christmas is a time to give back.

If you want to help those in need this festive season why not take part in a GOAL Mile?

What is a GOAL Mile?

GOAL Miles take place in villages and towns across Ireland each year.

Thousands of people come together to raise awareness and funds to fight global hunger.

The concept actually started in Dublin in 1982. Athlete Noel Carroll asked people to run in The Phoenix Park on Christmas morning to raise much needed funds for GOAL.

Fast forward to 2018 when 130 events took place across Ireland.

A massive thank you to the staff of @dropbox , @slackhq and @avivaireland for braving the elements this morning. For their first-ever GOAL Mile in Iveagh Gardens! Close to 100 of you turned out to transform the lives of poor and vulnerable communities across the developing world. Thank you for running the miles that matter most! Wonderful to have Adrienne Gormally of Dropbox there today who has previously seen first hand our humanitarian work in action in #Ethiopia! Thank you to @dropbox for being such brilliant partners! Well done all! . . . . #goalmile #milesthatmatter #business #fundraising #impact #fridayfeeling
