Healthy Athea Club
Healthy Athea is promoting participation in the My Mind Matters Initiative which runs from October 10th to October 30th 2021.
Participants are invited to download the MyLife App on their phones and to set aside 30 mins five days a week for an activity (walking, running, cycling, yoga etc.) that boosts their mental health, and record this activity on the App. If participants collectively record 30,000 days of activity on the MyLife App, then Irish Life will donate €10,000 to Samaritans Ireland.
Participants will also have the chance of winning great prizes for our club, with any participant reaching their weekly target entered into a draw for weekly prizes. One lucky participant will also win an expert coaching & wellbeing event with Oisin Mc Convilee for our club.
Healthy Tuesday
Healthy Athea are starting a Healthy Tuesday commencing on the12th of October where walkers and joggers can meet up for an hour at the track between 7.30pm – 8.30pm. It will run each Tuesday up until Christmas, where some social events will also be planned to coincide with the Tuesday night meet ups. This will set us up nicely for the Operation Transformation Initiative which will begin in the new year.
