Mary's Meals walk through Roscrea and Birr from Thurles to Knock Shrine a great success

The organisers of the recent Mary's Meals walk from Thurles to Knock Shrine and through Roscrea and Birr wish to thank everyone who so generously supported their cause.

Walkers set off from seven locations around Ireland last August to walk to Knock, Co. Mayo in an attempt to raise awareness for the global movement Mary’s Meals.

For the first time, a walk commenced in Thurles and was really well supported by locals in Clonakenny, Roscrea, Shinrone, Moneygall, Cloughjordan, Kinnitty and Birr.

The blue t-shirted walkers were greeted warmly as they passed through local towns and villages during our Summer heatwave. Thank you to all those who supported our Annual Walk – a total of €121,229 was raised throughout Ireland. This sum will feed 6,624 children in a place of education for an entire school year. Míle Buíochas!
