Charity Walk
Join the Byrne Family on a unique journey along the Royal Canal Way! The Royal Canal charity walk in aid of MS Ireland is organised by Edward Byrne Jnr, Dublin to raise awareness and vital funds for services for people with MS.
The walk will take place over a three day period during the May Bank holiday from the 5th - 7th May.
The family hope that the public will come out to cheer them along the route and wish them well. “We are hoping that about fifty people will do the entire three day walk”, but the beauty of this weekend is that people can join in at any point and do as much or as little as they like" said Eddie.
