We promote a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and exercise and for us Croi was a natural partner.Finally, we would like to thank the Salthill Gardai for their invaluable support along with the 100 plus volunteers who made this a very successful event “ explained Daithi O’Connor Managing Director of Revive Active.
