Please support Walk While You Can 2024!!
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.

“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".
