Harbour walk

THE 14th annual Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk will take place on St. Patrick’s Day from 10.30am. 

Over 2,000 enthusiastic walkers are expected to take on the 16.2 mile/26km challenge, with the option of starting from Howth Harbour or Dun Laoghaire Harbour.

Suitable for most fitness levels, the walk on Sunday, March 17 will take participants along the scenic Dublin Bay route with a ‘Halfway Hooley’ hosted at Dublin Port Company’s public plaza. 

Participants can register now at aware.ie/events at a cost of €25 per person. All funds raised will go towards Aware’s nationwide support, education and information services.

Aware Support Services include 32 Support & Self Care Groups nationwide and a Support Line and Support Mail service, both of which operate 365 days a year. 

Gerry O’Brien, Head of Fundraising at Aware, said the event offers the perfect excuse to get friends and family together to celebrate St Patrick’s Day in a fun and healthy way. 

“As a result of this and other fundraising efforts, Aware is able to provide vital support services for individuals and families impacted by depression or bipolar disorder, as well as offering free positive mental health programmes for adults and senior cycle students nationwide,” said Mr O’Brien.
