Little Blue Heroes will be honoured in Louth Garda Tony Golden Memorial Cycle 2023

Little Blue Heroes will be honoured in Louth Garda Tony Golden Memorial Cycle 2023.

The LH286 Garda Tony Golden Memorial Cycle is back and this year’s event is being held in honour of the Little Blue Heroes, those children with long-term illnesses who are helped by the Garda charity.

This is the eight year that the charity cycle has been organised in memory of Louth Garda murdered as he served the community in 2015.

"There have been 386 Little Blue Heroes to date so we are looking to clock up 100km for each of them, giving us a target of 38,600kms this year,” says Gda Kevin Cleary, one of the organisers of the event.

Once again, the challenge is a virtual one, which means that people can take part in the challenge no matter where they are.

Nenagh Garda District Sports Day

Nenagh gardaí hosted the inaugural Sports Day for all primary schools in the District at Nenagh Éire Óg GAA Grounds, MacDonagh Park recently.

Some 29 primary schools attended and enjoyed competing in team-based events where team building and communication skills were exhibited.

Our Little Blue Heroes Honorary Gardaí Julie Collins and Shaye Collins were on hand to keep order.
