Walking the "breadth of Ireland" for Pieta House

James Connolly is walking the breadth of Ireland, 240kms, to raise money for Pieta House,and walking through Tullamore on bank holiday Monday, and Edenderry on Tuesday, and all in the name of Pieta House.

"I was shocked to know that the biggest killer of males in Ireland under 25 is suicide," says James on his fundraising page. "So given past experiences we decided it was a very worthy cause for our Long Walk. 

"We heard of the great work of Pieta House and decided that we would walk in aid of them. 90% of the funding for this charity comes from donations so we would be grateful for your kind donations," he says.

"We leave the diving board at Salthill, Galway Bay at 10:30am on Good Friday, 30th March 2018. We will walk every day after at 10am and aim to be in Dublin Bay by afternoon of Friday 6th April.
