A big thank you to all who participated this year and for giving your time and effort in raising sponsorship for the Calcutta Run!

Because of you and the other 1,100 participants, an amazing €165k was raised on the day and when added to the generous donations from our sponsors and various legal firms, the total raised for the Calcutta Run 2009 will be over €200k.

This wonderful event organised by Solicitors will proudly see GOAL's projects for homeless children in Calcutta and the Peter McVerry Trust's projects for homeless boys in Dublin receive in the region of €100k each.   Father Peter McVerry and John O'Shea from GOAL were honoured at the ongoing generosity and commitment shown by everyone, especially in these tough times.

Plenty of photos were taken to celebrate the day, so be sure to check out our 2009 Gallery and see whether you can spot photos of yourself and your supporters.

And while we can't promise the weather, we can promise a great day and great craic for Calcutta Run 2010. Keep your diary free!
