The annual Castleisland Good Friday morning Hospice Walk will take place on Friday, April 7th. at 11am and the walkers will be joined on this occasion by former Irish rugby team captain Ciara Griffin.
The walk will commence and finish at the library car park beside the entrance to Nana Bea’s.
Trisha Higgins has announced that refreshments will, once again, be provided for all participants at Nana Bea’s after the walk.
Walkers are asked to gather in the library car park near Nana Bea’s by 10.50am for an 11am start. The walk will go straight up through the town heading out Cordal Road, around Tullig and back to the starting point.
Stay with the Group
Participants are asked to take note of the route and to stay with the main group at all times for safety reasons.
The walk is one of the major fundraisers for the Castleisland branch of the Kerry Hospice Foundation each year.
Members of the branch urge you to come out and walk or run if you prefer this Good Friday, April 7th.
Sponsorship Cards at Jack Shanahan’s
If required, sponsorship cards are available at Jack Shanahan’s Haven Pharmacy but, most people prefer to give a personal donation on the day.
The option to do the walk privately is also there for anyone who may be more comfortable doing this.
Donations can be dropped in to Shanahan’s Haven Pharmacy or given to any committee member.
All funds raised in Kerry for Hospice remain in Kerry and so all contributions will go directly towards the running cost of the in- patient unit in University Hospital Kerry.
