KEADUE native Paddy Ferry and his son Patrick, a resident in Edinburgh, completed a 46-mile sponsored charity walk last weekend from Edinburgh to Celtic Park in Glasgow.
Funds were raised for the Edinburgh Food Project and the Celtic Charitable Foundation.
This is in keeping with the founding ethos of Celtic when a Sligo man, Brother Walfrid, Andrew Kerins from Ballymote, founded Celtic in 1888 to raise funds for SVDP to help feed the poor in the East End of Glasgow, many of whom were Irish.
Paul McKay, an adopted Keadue man, also competed the walk.
Twenty one Celtic supporters in all completed what was referred to as the Stagger to Paradise.
