Stories from GFLOur PALs (Physical Activity Leaders) are the backbone of so much that we achieve in Go for Life. Around the country, there are approximately 900 active PALs - older people who lead groups and communities in physical activities and fun sports. We interviewed Pat O'Flynn, one of our PALs about her experiences of being involved with Go for Life. The Active Living for Older Adults group in Ballymun describe Go for Life as 'the best thing we have ever done'. |
