Pictures: Roscrea Lions Club cancer walk in Mount St. Joseph's draws huge crowd

ROSCREA Lions Club in  collaboration with Cistercian College Roscrea  held a Charity Walk on the grounds of the College on Saturday - the 'Light It Up Gold' Walk was in recognition of, and in support of Childhood Cancer Ireland.

The event was blessed with glorious sunshine and was supported by a huge crowd, who enjoyed a walk through the beautiful grounds of the expansive Mount St. Joseph's campus.

Lions Clubs of Ireland have recently launched a new partnership with Childhood Cancer Ireland to support the hundreds of families affected by childhood cancer around the country.
