The John Giles Foundation "Walk of Dreams" drew a great crowd of young and old to Redmond Park yesterday. The Foundation aims "to facilitate positive social change by using the power of football to build community cohesion, promote health, and encourage lifelong participation and learning". Through fundraising initiatives it strives to help football clubs, schools, and community groups to raise funds for themselves and for other worthwhile local projects. The walk, held in glorious sunshine, took in a lap of the town before returning to the park. John Wickham, he of Foulkesmills Duck Race fame, was a very capable and funny MC and DJ. Not many DJs get away with playing Dire Straits and Richie Kavanagh in the one set! To find out more about the John Giles Foundation visit http://www.johngilesfoundation.com
