Meet Grace Ann McGarvey -
Crew member for Team Donegal Oil Race Across America - RAAM 2018 Representing Donegal, Ireland. ☘️🌟🇨🇮🇺🇸️️

A native of Donegal, living in Kilmacrennan, Grace Ann has many years experience working in the world of media & communications. Grace Ann has been working with Team Donegal Oil for the past number of years on various Endurance Races, adventures and charity fundraising events, covering the PR & Social Media.

Such events as the Team Donegal Oil High Peaks FKT Challenge - Shaun Stewart & Lonan O'Farrell with Shaun Stewart from Donegal & Lonan O' Farrell, Galway! These two lads climbed 24 peaks over 32 counties in record speed and raised a huge amount of money for worthy charities. And in her words working with a crew like the Donegal Roaders and Team Donegal Oil was a real experience.

Grace Ann covered other events for Team Donegal Oil such as the Row for Autism with Letterkenny Rugby Club, Donegal Atlantic Way Ultra Race 555k for the past 2 years with an 8 person novice team and a 2 person husband & wife team with Julie McMahon & Arthur McMahon and with the first Team from Team Donegal Oil to enter the race, Race Around Ireland, Gartan Open Water Swimmers and a number of other events. But this years Team Joe Barr 500, she crewed alongside the team from Ireland (country) that will travel to the United States for Race Across America next month got her hooked and she is delighted to be going on this once in a lifetime adventure with an amazing team of people.

Collecting, sharing and storing memories for anyone who takes part in events like this especially when there are charity fund raising involved is so important to Grace Ann not only for the people taking part in the endurance races but the people who help them, their families & friends.

When this team & Crew Team leave Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, Ireland to travel to the States for the biggest endurance challenge of their lives, all coverage will be documented & shared on social media platforms and through several media partners locally & nationally so everyone at home and those that wish to follow the team, will be able to follow the progress and see how the cyclists & crew are getting on in real time. The highs and the lows!

The support from family & friends along the route in the states is already pouring in for this team and with a branded crew from Ireland ready to take on this challenge & create memories that will last a lifetime, Grace Ann will make you feel like you are there with them and keep you updated throughout the journey!

Spending time with the crew, meeting people along the way, making new friends & creating memories will be Grace Ann's challenge and one she is looking forward to. And the fact that this is a fundraising challenge too to raise funds for Autism in Donegal is a worth while cause for the entire team! Anyone who knows Grace Ann knows she puts her heart & soul into everything she does.

The four lads have been feeling great and have said themselves felt the benefits since their Salt Therapy Sessions at Salt Caves Therapy Ireland, Pontemed Clinic Ireland, Scally Place, Letterkenny ahead of their Race Across America next month! It has improved their breathing and opened their airways during training.

Gavin was interviewed in the cave by Boyd and here is what he had to say! 😊🇱🇷️🇮🇪️🍀
