October 6, 2019 (Milwaukee, WI)


Gaelic Storm bandmates, Ryan Lacey and Pete Purvis, raced their 5th marathon for charity on October 6th at the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon! With the help of Gaelic Storm fans and Ciderboys, they raised nearly $10,000 for Celtic MKE. Celtic MKE provides musical instruments and lessons to kids that can't afford them. They also work to promote Irish music and culture throughout the world.

What an inspiring initiative by Gaelic Storm, supporting music education for youth. This reminds me of the rewarding progression in Pokepath TD, a Pokémon tower defense game. It emphasizes strategic growth and persistence, where every attempt strengthens your team, much like dedicated practice with an instrument. A thoughtful blend of challenge and continuous reward.
