#Walk&Talk: A Bird’s Eye View

May 9, 2018

‘What weather! The man above gave it the seal of approval. Wasn’t the atmosphere just lovely? Can we do this every year’ … just some of the many comments passed this weekend.

A young person, a middle of the night walker, was overheard saying it was too cold to be using the mobile phone so the group talked for the hour and ‘shure wasn’t that the idea? To walk and talk?’ Another person was so chuffed and delighted to rekindle a friendship that had been lost for no reason over the years. Some walked quietly, challenging themselves, some others ran and laughed loudly enjoying the warm and welcoming joviality of family, friends and community. Young, old, big, small, boys, girls, men and women from our small but very vibrant and proud welcoming community of families walked and talked together keeping in mind how they were supporting not only the club but more importantly the community and wider communities affected by suicide.

Kiltale Hurling Club facilitated this event and aim to work with the GAA healthy club initiative in mind, to run a healthy club both physically and emotionally. Perhaps the ‘talk’ part of the event was the most important message of the weekend. Walk & Talk 2018 sent out all the right messages.

Well done to each and every leader, walker, sponsor, contributor and friends of Kiltale Hurling Club. Without you there would be less reason to walk or talk.

 Roll on 2019?

We aim to have 24 teams walking in relay, continuously, for 24 hours – from 7pm on Saturday 5th May to 7pm on Sunday 6th May.

Each of the 24 teams will be lead by a fearless leader, and will contain a minimum of 10 participants (there is no upper limit on the participants – so go nuts, and try for 20!).

Each participant on the team will be asked to raise a minimum of €100 each in sponsorship, but again there will be no upper limit so reach for the stars. We will have sponsorship cards available but use whatever method you see fit (legal only please) to raise your funds.

As a little challenge, and to focus the mind, we also aim to walk a combined total of 1500km during the event with each team member’s distances being accounted for, so get training!

Launch Night
We will have a launch night for this event when our 24 leaders have been selected. At this launch night we will perform an open draw for the hours that each team will be asked to walk for. We will also reveal details of the novelty hours which will also be assigned to the teams.

The two beneficiary charities will also be revealed on the launch night, and will be present to offer support and encouragement to all participants.

On the Day
The challenge will be finishing as stated above at 7pm on Sunday 6th May, which is the Bank Holiday Weekend.

For the final hour all 24 teams will be recalled to our walking track to finish the challenge together.

We will have a BBQ with all manner of refreshments and entertainment that evening for our participants, sponsors and supporters to enjoy. This will be a great community spirit and all attendance is very welcome.

Please support this event as not only will it help our club and community, but also two very worthy charities!
