In recent times there have been some successful ‘Biggest Loser’ events held in Loughgiel with a lot of people improving their lifestyles, losing weight and generally increasing their fitness levels. This is a chance for everyone in the community and neighbouring communities to have a goal to work towards and have a bit of fun. T here is a level where everyone can take part , from the youngest to the fittest.
In doing so, not only will we raise some much needed funds for the GAA club but also give much neede d funds to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
