George Kelly Takes on Gael Force West for PSPA Ireland

gaelforcewestGael Force is a multi-activity event that takes place every year in beautiful Connemara.  George Kelly and some of his mates (The Twisted Monkeys) took on this gruelling 7 stage event on 15th August 2015 and has set up a donation page on the PSPA Ireland link www.ifundraise.ie/pspa

The seven stage event is not for the faint hearted.
Thank you to George and the Twisted Monkeys for their valiant efforts in supporting people with PSP and CBD
