“The Essence of the Torch of Hope Walk is that it gives families, friends and Dublin communities an opportunity to support people who have fought cancer and remember lost loved ones”
More information:
This community and fundraising team event will see people starting the walk at 5pm along Dublin bay. The final km will be dedicated to cancer survivors who will carry the Torch of Hope to its final destination across the Samuel Beckett Bridge where both torches will light the Cauldron.
Each team will be asked to nominate one person who will act as team captain and who will be responsible for distributing information and communicating about the event to other team members.
There are two starting points around Dublin Bay at Blackrock Park and the Wooden Bridge at Dollymount & the start time will be 5pm. North side will meet South side on the Samuel Beckett Bridge at approx. 6.30pm. The closing ceremony will be followed by entertainment with surprise celebrity appearances at the CHQ building in the IFSC.
