Walk While You Can for IMNDA this October!
Every day the most remarkable people face the toughest of battles and that’s why I’m walking while I can this October in support of people living with Motor Neurone Disease. Please help me reach my fundraising target or join me by walking 5km.
This October, it’s up to all of us to ensure that Walk While You Can continues to raise urgently needed funds for people living with MND. So not only are you helping to fund our nursing service, extra home care hours and critical equipment that's needed to keep people at home - you are also sending a powerful message of hope to every family affected by MND.
There are more than 450 people affected by this cruel and debilitating disease all across Ireland. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation in this country supporting these families and it’s a charity that’s very close to my heart.
Because of Fr Tony Coote's gargantuan fundraising efforts in 2019, the IMNDA were able to hire a 4th nurse, because of continued fundraising that vital service has now grown to 6 nurses!
Our community walk will keep the MND nurses in the communities where they are needed most.
Please support my fundraising efforts and help me ensure that every person living with MND receives the dedicated care and support they need.
Hope starts with one step, change happens with many.
Walk While You Can, where you can, with who you can. I intend to walk as much as I can, while I can. I would love you to join me.

Thank you
Sunday 20th Oct Hi everyone. Just a quick message to say a massive thank you to everyone who turned up, donated and sent good wishes. We did it. What a day. The sun shone down on us. It was a beautiful day from begining to end. We laughed, walked ,talked and sang our way through 5k. Over 170 family, friends, community supported us. Thank you so much. Have a look at the photos. A picture says a thousand words. Need I say more ❤️
Yes we can
Saturday 19th Oct Today is the day. The sun is shining down on us here in the sunny south east. Today we walk for ourselves, we walk for our loved ones present and past. As a family, a community we spread the message of hope. Hope that someday, we find a cure for motor neuron disease. But while right now there is no cure ,there is care. That care is supported by the IMNDA. By the team in hospitals around Ireland. By our nursing team in the community. They support us clinically, in our homes, with dignity and respect . They support us with equipment for our comfort. Psychology with funds for councilling if needed. IMNDA needs your support to keep its community nurses out where their needed. Communities across Ireland and abroad walk this weekend. Thank you for myself, my family and my friends who love me. I want to live as long as I can, be as healthy as I can and be cared for at home when the time comes. If you can help them financially, great. If not just come along and show you care. To those who have donated on line and to me personally, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
