Please Walk While You Can for our MND community this October 25th.
Together we can make a real difference.
Louise Hennessy, one of our MND Nurses, is asking you to walk this October. Why not get on board and join many others who will be taking on 5km in their local area and raising funds to help keep our MND nurses like Louise in their community where they belong, visiting our families at home and providing pratical and emotional support to those dealing with a devastating diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.
Walk While You Can first originated in 2018 when Fr. Tony Coote, well known priest and campaigner undertook an extraordinary walk from Donegal to Cork – some 550 kilometres, and raised €700,000 for Motor Neurone Disease in the process.
Since 2019 community events have raised over €740,000 for our MND community; that’s the power of your walks!
So let’s walk this autumn and help to continue Fr. Tony's lasting legacy. Help us to make 2025 the biggest WWYC yet and keep our 7 MND nurses in their communities where they are needed most.

“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".
