I am contacting all county boards from here at Diabetes Ireland once again in relation to the fact we are an Official Charity of the GAA for this year.

To try maximise this partnership and raise our profile and awareness of the condition we are kicking off a #PressUpChamp challenge this week to coincide with the peak period of the GAA season, both county and also club as club teams will be starting to prepare for Championship across the country in the majority of cases.

We are asking people of all ages across the GAA community to do as many press-ups as they can, video it and post on their social media while challenging their team-mates, family and friends to beat their score while texting the word “PressUp” to 50300 to donate €4 to Diabetes Ireland.

We have asked over 30 GAA stars to take part… David Moran, Philip Jordan, Kevin Cassidy, Matt O Hanlon, John Heslin, Conor Mortimer, Joe Brolly & The Sunday Game all taking part this week so a good start.

This initiative we hope will appeal to all ages and hopefully teams will do it together in training across clubs nationwide with some fundraising raised for us along the way.

Any questions do get in touch… Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
