College Principal, Mr David Lordon accompanied by Jacob O'Keeffe and Max O'Dowling presented a cheque, on behalf of the Charitable Activities Committee in CBC,  to former pupil Conor O’Keeffe, in aid of Pieta House. In 2020, Conor raised in excess of 67,500 Euro for Pieta House, by running 32 marathons across 32 counties in 32 days. He started  this feat while wearing a 32-pound vest to symbolise negative thoughts. He would shed a pound a day from the vest as he progressed. Conor spoke with Sixth and Fourth Years students, sharing his own experiences with life’s challenges and emphasised the need for all to develop resilience and how to do so, in a practical way. Conor is the founder of  CrúMan, an outdoor adventure community that embodies the principles of looking after one’s mental and physical health, while exploring the outdoors.
