Special Olympics fundraising across Tipp today

All the proceeds will go directly to over 9-thousand athletes, in 360 clubs across the entire island of Ireland…this year they're hoping to raise 600-thousand euro in just 24 hours.

There are collection points set up right across the Premier County today including Thurles, Nenagh, Templemore, Tipp Town, Roscrea, Cahir and Clonmel. 

Special Olympics Ireland Ambassador and rugby legend Keith Wood says they've set a target for the people of Tipperary today.
