Climb Slieve Donard is back! Having missed out on the last 2 years due to covid, we are thrilled to welcome back our annual Climb Slieve Donard event on Sunday 29th May 2022. This will be our 10th in-person Slieve Donard challenge and we want you to help us celebrate it in style in support of children and families all over Ireland impacted by cancer. Those boots were made for walking, so it's time to get your colleagues, family, and friends together and put your best foot forward to ensure no child has to face cancer alone! We are asking you to take on and conquer Northern Ireland's highest peak, Slieve Donard, in the beautiful Mourne Mountains and raise £100 / €120 to help us support families impacted by cancer when they need us the most. Did you know that approximately 30 families every month across Ireland are given the devastating news that their child has cancer? Thrown into chaos and not knowing where to turn, we need your help ensuring they do not have to face it alone. Join us today and help us ensure our vital work can continue. ** Please note this event is classed as a medium difficulty challenge! You will walk consistently uphill for 2.9 miles through first the forest, and then up the rocky mountain path. It will take an average of 4-5 hours to complete, and we ask ALL participants to wear walking boots for your own safety and in line with Life Adventure, our event provider’s, health and safety procedures. Dogs unfortunately are not allowed to join. We love your pooches, but with us taking so many people up Slieve Donard at the one time, it is for our participants safety and those of other walkers!
