Eoghan’s Home Run had its first outing in January 2022, and has captured the hearts and minds of supporters and participants alike since. Throughout the years, Eoghan and his team have tirelessly worked towards creating positive change, and the final event promises to be a fitting climax to this extraordinary initiative.
