Speaking at the awards night, Carmel, whose father Christy and sister Christina are heavily involved along with other family members, dedicated the award to her sister Donna who sadly passed away.
“I have to mention her my sister Donna who passed away two years ago.
“She was a club stalwart, and all her family are with the club and do a lot of work”.
Delighted at picking up the award Carmel said: “There is about 2,000 people in Tallaght that deserve this award.
“People get up every morning and, in the evenings, and volunteer so whatever you do its important.“It keeps the kids out of trouble and its important for the children of Tallaght that we do this.
“Nothing goes unrecognised, volunteers put in a big effort at all clubs”.
Speaking on the success of the Healthy Club Carmel said: “We have done four weeks walking, the weather may not have been the best, my attitude is you get up out of bed and you don’t give up.
“We have also done walks in memory of people.
“You know a lot of people have had sadness and if their anniversary falls in the middle of the walk we do it for them.”
