ROBERT O’DOWD MEMORIAL WALK
What a fantastic event. They came in their hundreds walk/ run with family, friends and even some dogs took part in the Robert O’Dowd memorial walk. Robert was hugely popular and having known Robert myself I can say he was a gentleman. We at the Kerry Hospice Foundation would like to take this opportunity to thank all the organisers and there were many. A special mention to Eoin and Robert’s family who put huge work in to this event. To all who sponsored, did marshalling along the way, took pictures, provided music and supported in any way we are so thankful. Well done also to Michelle Greaney who put the race together. We are so grateful to all who organised this hugely successful event and of course cannot thank enough of you who took part and raised funds for Kerry Hospice/Palliative Care.
