The annual Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk is going national this year with events in Dublin, Cork and Galway. Over 2,000 people are expected to take part in the walk, which takes place on Thursday March 17th.
In Dublin, the 26km route is situated between Howth and Dun Laoghaire Harbours.
Aware volunteer director and Dublin All-Ireland winner Bernard Brogan launched the events at Dublin Port today.
Brogan said, ‘It’s fantastic that Aware’s St. Patricks’ Day fundraiser is going national. The event started in Dublin 11 years ago and raises €40,000 for Aware’s work each time. There’s a really important link between exercise and mental health and this is a brilliant opportunity to get involved, get your heart pumping and be part of what is really just a big, happy day out. It’s a great event to do with friends and family or a perfect way to set yourself a solo challenge!”
