Get Ireland Walking is delighted to partner again with the GAA and Irish Life for this year’s Ireland Lights Up.
Ireland Lights Up starts on 8th January, 2025. Participating clubs are asked to host a community walk for up to 6 weeks. Clubs can determine their own schedule depending on volunteer capacity.
The ever popular ‘Ireland Lights Up’ returns to GAA clubs in January 2025 in partnership with Get Ireland Walking and Irish Life. Irish Life’s GAA Healthy Clubs Programme and MyLife app are delighted to be supporting this initiative again with a donation of €30,000 in club funding up for grabs in the Every Step Counts Challenge. What’s more, everyone who downloads the MyLife app by Irish Life will get rewarded for being active!
Ireland Lights Up encourages GAA clubs across the 32 counties to light up and bring communities together to walk and talk in a safe environment during the dark winter evenings. By registering for Ireland Lights Up you are automatically registered for the Every Step Counts Challenge, you will receive further information on the challenge and the MyLife app from Irish Life.
SHOWCASING YOUR CLUB
To fill the void of Operation Transformation departing from our televisions, the GAA is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with the recently launched 40 Day Health Challenge. This nationwide digital health and wellbeing campaign is brought to you by the makers of Operation Transformation and will run online from 6th January to 14th February.
Lots of familiar faces will be involved, with personal trainer Karl Henry, GP Dr Sumi Dunne, clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy and dietitian Sophie Pratt, guiding the nation and a group of specially selected leaders throughout the campaign.
The aim is to inspire and encourage individuals, families and communities across Ireland to embrace healthier lifestyles, get active and improve their overall physical and mental wellbeing while taking part in Ireland Lights Up and the Irish Life Every Step Counts Challenge.
As was the case during Operation Transformation, each week a club participating in Ireland Lights Up will get a visit from the camera crew to showcase how they are supporting the health and wellbeing of their members and community on the 40 Day Health Challenge digital series.
