Please join us this October 21st and Walk While You Can!
Every day the most remarkable people face the toughest of battles. We will never forget what Fr Tony Coote did for Motor Neurone Disease. In July 2018, five months after his own diagnosis of MND and in a wheelchair, he completed an extraordinary walk from Donegal to Cork, a distance of over 550 kilometres
It took four weeks on the road travelling from town to town in all weather conditions but in the end an incredible €700,000 was raised for the IMNDA and MND Research. From these miraculous funds, we were able to employ a fourth nurse. Our nursing service continues to grow with 6 MND Nurses now funded by the IMNDA!
That’s the power of a walk and YOUR SUPPORT.
Your community walks will keep our nurses in the communities where they are needed most.
This Autumn 2023, it’s up to all of us to ensure that Walk While You Can continues to raise urgently needed funds for people living with MND.
So let’s walk while we can, where we can and continue what Tony started!

“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 on Saturday last was superbly organized 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".

"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".
