Every day the most remarkable people face the toughest of battles.

Louise Hennessy our MND Nurse is helping us to promote Walk While You Can this October. Why not get on board and join the many others who will be walking 5km in their local area and raising funds to help keep nurses like Louise in their community where they belong, providing pratical and emotional support to those living with MND and their families.

Walk While You Can first originated in 2018 when Fr. Tony Coote, well known priest, campaigner and latterly author, 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 walks have raised over €500,000 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. This October, help to keep our nurses in their communities where they are needed most.
