Laura Fox rows in behind Roscommon Athletic Track fundraiser

RTÉ presenter and 2FM DJ Laura Fox has gotten behind the fantastic fundraising campaign for the county’s first athletics track.

During the summer, the Roscommon Community Athletics Track (RCAT) group launched a donation page for the much needed project, a new state-of-the-art 400-metre 8 lane track for the county. The track will be a “hub of excellence, where athletes of all ages and abilities can train, compete, and achieve their dreams”.

The target of the campaign is €1.3 million, and thousands of euro have already been raised.

Recently, the campaign launched its ‘Win a Garden Room and Kitchen’ competition. By entering, not only are people supporting a great cause, they are also in with a chance to win a garden room from Lidan valued at €65,000, and a bespoke Mark Lohan kitchen valued at €25,000. Both of these generous Roscommon companies are proud to support this local initiative.

In a message of support posted on social media, Laura was full of praise for the “unbelievable fundraiser” and urged people to get involved.

“This is really important because Roscommon is the only county in the country that does not have a running track, so it’s time to make that dream a reality for them,” said Laura.
