As the Westmeath Lake County Movathon challenge enters its final week the initiative continues to build momentum with a spectacular final weekend of club activity on the menu for Easter.
The venture received a massive boost during the week when the MooreGroup Corporation New York donated €20,000 to the fund on behalfof the Moore families in New York, Mullingar and London in what was a massive vote of confidence in the future plans of the Westmeath GAA.
The Moore family have been members of the Mullingar Shamrocks GAA Club and The Downs GAA Club for many years and were proud to support and join the efforts of the Westmeath County Board and all Westmeath Gaels in their efforts to raise much needed funds to support the many county teams who will represent Westmeath GAA in the season ahead.
John Moore, president of the Moore Corporation has been centrally involved in the Westmeath New York GAA Club for close to 40 years and has provided employment to many Westmeath club and county players who visited New York over that time. Gary Moore is the company's director of construction and with his first cousin Darren, a successful New York attorney, was a member of the Westmeath New York team managed by John Moore that contested the New York intermediate football final in 2020 losing narrowly to Brooklyn Shamrocks.
