JUST under 100 people took to the roads on Saturday morning for the annual Jamie Wrenn Walk for the Kerry Hospice.
The walk sets off in the sunshine at 10am from the Aquadome and along the way, the walkers stopped off for refreshments at O’Sheas in Curraheen, then The Junction Bar, Camp and finally at the Seven Hogs before reaching the final destination in Castlegregory.
Back in 1999, Castlegregory man Jamie Wrenn, began a charity walk in aid of cancer services that has become a long standing tradition. A cancer sufferer himself, unfortunately Jamie lost his battle with the disease in 2008.
In 2010 with the permission from the Wrenn family, the walk was revived and since then a total of €54,813 has been raised for the Kerry Cork Health Link Bus.
This year, the organisers have decided to carry out the walk in aid of Kerry Hospice/Palliative Care, with the aim of furnishing one of their newly built rooms.
It was another fantastic day and a great amount of money was raised for a worthy cause.
