Hike along the beautiful south Dublin foothills, and help raise vital funds for children

By Fionn Teague

A charity based in Kildare is urging people to sign up for their annual fund raiser to raise vital funds for children living with a serious illness in Ireland.

Barretstown is hosting a fundraiser to help raise funds for children suffering from cancer and other serious illness

This year is the 11th year the event will take place.

People who attend the event will be tasked with the difficult task of walking through the Dublin mountain way. The walk begings in Sean Walsh park [ Tallaght ] and ends in Shankhill.

The walk is 42km long but anyone who chooses to go will have the choice to end their journey at Tiknock. Sean Walsh to Tiknock is 24 km

The money raised will help over 22000 children over the next year

Registration for the Dublin Mountains Challenge is available on the Barretstown website or by clicking on this link

Make sure to get your entries in before the deadline of May 18.
