Peugeot supporting former Dublin footballer in Plant the Planet Games

Peugeot Ireland is supporting former Dublin senior footballer Lyndsey Davey during her trip to Kenya as part of the Plant the Planet Games on 17th November.

Davey will be one of 50 inter-county players, past and present, who will travel to Kenya later this week as part of the ‘Warriors for Humanity’ group who will take part in the Plant the Planet Games.

The players have raised hundreds of thousands of Euro as they aim to plant trees to tackle the devastating effects of climate change and raise awareness of the work of Self Help Africa.

The visit will see the athletes take part in Gaelic Football & Hurling Exhibition Matches, a soccer match against AFC Leopards as well as cultural and agricultural engagements.

This is the second year of the Plant the Planet Games, the brainchild of Warriors for Humanity CEO and founder Alan Kerins. Last year, over €500,000 was raised by inter-county players in support of the event, with one million trees being planted to tackle the effects of climate change.

Des Cannon, managing director at Peugeot Ireland said: “We are proud to support Lyndsey on this special trip that will contribute so much to the important work done by Self Help Africa. As official partners to Dublin GAA, it is nice to be able to support a former player in their post playing career endeavours.”
