Story
On the 10th September, a number of us will be walking 5km raising money for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association in memory of our much loved John Kelly who passed away earlier this year. Any money at all that we can raise for such a worthy cause would be amazing so if you can donate anything at all it would be great!
Following on from the success of Fr. Tony Coote's phenomenal Walk While You Can campaign in 2018 and to mark the 1st anniversary of his passing on 28th August we are asking you Walk While You Can in your area.It is imperative for us to keep our MND Community safe and with this in mind our planned Walk While You Can 5k event in the Phoenix Park won't be going ahead this September as planned.However you can still help us get through what continues to be a very challenging time for people living with Motor Neurone Disease.80% of people with MND lose their speech but a communication aid like an iPad can become their voice. Supplying an iPad, with a specialised communication app, enables people with MND to continue to speak to the people they love as well as communicate with the outside world. Currently, we can't all walk together but we are still in this together and together we can continue to make a difference and walk our own 5k.Hope starts with one step; change happens with many.
