Cork business leaders urged to join Rory Best’s walking challenge

Former rugby player Rory Best has called on business leaders in Cork to join him for the third instalment of his fundraising walk “Rory’s Miles to Mayo” in aid of children with cancer.

From September 12 to 20, Rory will captain a team of business leaders on a powerful journey to walk nine marathons in nine days.

Each participant will walk around 50,000 steps daily across Derry/Londonderry, Belfast, Dublin, Kildare, Carlow, Cork, Limerick and Galway before finishing in Cong, Co. Mayo.

The fundraising challenge is in aid of Cancer Fund for Children, an all island charity that provides emotional, social and therapeutic support to children, young people and families impacted by cancer. The walks are inspired by Cancer Fund for Children’s ambition to build a second therapeutic short break centre called Daisy Lodge on the shores of Lough Corrib in Cong, Co Mayo.

Business leaders in Cork who are interested in taking on the challenge can do so by signing up online at cancerfundforchildren.com.
