Please Walk While You Can for our MND community this October 25th.
Together we can make a real difference.
"Last October, while coming to terms with my diagnosis, I decided to host the IMNDA ‘Walk while you Can’ fundraiser. I had publicly announced to my friends and community in April that I had Motor Neurone Disease.
By October, my condition had advanced and I thought it would be a positive way of getting family and friends together, to let them see I was doing well, and raise vital funds for the association.
Over 200 people turned up from around the country. My MND community group joined me and we felt the love, the support and the reassurance that we were not alone.
I actually didn't think I could do the 5k walk. How wrong I was! I walked the 5k. I'm still walking, slower and maybe not as far, but still going.
This October join me for the “Walk while you can” campaign. Help us raise awareness and vital funds.
The word “Community” includes Unity. Unite with us all around Ireland. Come and help the IMNDA to continue their vital work. We want you! We need you. We are you!”

“Phenomenal. Great man, Tony. In awe and admiration of this tremendous initiative. Positivity in the face of adversity. That's the measure of this man. Great to see superb, and indeed numerous, people and organisations behind him and Walk While You Can project”

"The Walk While You Can event in the Phoenix Park in 2019 was superbly organised and thoroughly enjoyable. There was a lovely feeling of camaraderie and togetherness for a common cause. It was also great to see everyone staying behind afterwards for a chat in the beautiful sunshine".
Norman Hughes
"It was a beautiful and wonderful event. Apart from it being a successful fundraiser it must have heartened the COOTE Family to see so many Tony followers celebrating his legacy".
