Around 60 enthusiastic outdoors lovers braved the yellow weather warnings on Sunday morning and successfully negotiated the leafy three-kilometre circuit leading to the High Cross of Kilbride in the environmentally friendly haven of Courtown Woods.
The event was inaugurated by Catherine O’Leary, National Community Engagement Manager, along with Mary Conroy Thomas from ASI Riverchapel and Linda Sinnott from Courtown Community Council.
A poignant moment of reflection took place at the High Cross, where a heartfelt memory poem was recited aloud. Following the walk, participants enjoyed light refreshments at Active Tribe. “A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed in making this day truly special,” stated Linda Sinnott to WexfordLocal.com.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland opened a new Day Care branch at Riverchapel in North Wexford last April which provides day care services for people living with dementia in the area. The society also provides home care supports to 90 families across Wexford. These supports are a lifeline for many families who have a loved one living with dementia.
