Join The Wild Atlantic Relay this Summer

The Wild Atlantic Relay, is a Multiple Sclerosis Walk across 1000km from Mizen Head to Malin Head. The relay will be led by Paul and Karen McGovern. Paul is living with MS but he doesn’t let it stop him making the most out of every day. The two aim to complete the challenge on Thursday July 20th, supported by MS Ireland branch volunteers and local Centra stores from Cork to Donegal, all passing the baton along the route.

Paul McGovern, from Dunleer County Louth was diagnosed with an aggressive form of MS, eight years ago, in January 2009. In 2015, Paul, Karen and Nanook walked from Salthill, Galway on the West coast to his hometown on the East Coast. The Wild Atlantic Relay MS Walk is Paul and Karen’s next adventure.

Shane Lynch, Centra Marketing Manager said: “At Centra we believe in encouraging people to make the most of every day, that’s why we are so proud to support Paul and Karen’s 1000km walk along the Wild Atlantic Way. Centra stores along the route will be hosting fundraising events for Paul and Karen to drive awareness for the cause and we are encouraging people to support.”

Ava Battles, Chief Executive, MS Ireland comments: “We are all looking forward to supporting Paul and Karen in their Wild Atlantic Relay challenge. Their fundraising efforts are admirable and we wish them the best as they set off on June 4th.”
