OVER €7,000 has been raised for three worthwhile charities following the Annual Toonagh Charity Walk.

Huntington’s Disease Association of Ireland (HDAI), Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and the Parkinsons Association of Ireland will split the funds of €7,505 among them following the generous donations received for the popular annual Toonagh Charity Walk.

Organised by Denise Whelan, the fundraiser welcomed donations from locals and expats with walkers enjoying the fresh January air while clocking up the steps. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association became a new addition to the fundraiser last year.

Donations will be accepted until February 16th, the target of €5000 has already been smashed by the organisers.

A framed photograph of Ashling Murphy surrounded by lit candles was at the starting point of the walk where walkers stood in silence for a short while in contemplation and sorrow.
