Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>Completing 30 minutes of exercise each day will not only benefit your health but also a charity during the month of March.</h3>
The National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI) has launched its latest fundraiser and is calling on all challengers who are interested in participating in their Move Into The Light event.
Paul O&rsquo;Connell, who is the NCBI Shop Manager on High Street, is appealing to locals to get involved.
Participants can walk, run, cycle or swim &#8211; whatever exercise they want, with funds going to the charity which helps people with sight loss.
The 30-day challenge offers the perfect opportunity to fundraise for NCBI to enable them&nbsp;to provide vital services and supports to the 55,000 people spread across Ireland who are living with sight loss, Paul explained.
&#8220;It&#8217;s great to see NCBI organising an event like Move Into The Light because anyone, anywhere can get involved,&#8221; Paul told the Killarney Advertiser.
&#8220;It&rsquo;s a great opportunity for members of our community here in Killarney to get out and about as the evenings get brighter, all the while raising money for a good cause. We encourage many participants in Killarney to pass our shop while they&#8217;re out on their 30 minutes of exercise a day throughout March. If you do pass the shop, don&rsquo;t hesitate to pop in &#8211; you might bag a bargain while you&rsquo;re on your travels!&#8221;
Every person who signs up will receive a free Move Into The Light t-shirt, along with a dedicated sponsorship pack.
Those who wish to sign up can do so on NCBI&rsquo;s website www.ncbi.ie/move-into-the-light/ or by email fundraising@ncbi.ie.
Challenge progress pictures and more can be shared on social media through the hashtag #TeamMoveIntoTheLight or by joining our dedicated Move Into The Light Facebook Group.
