Kerry Businesswomen’s Network might be serious about business – but they know that there are plenty less obvious ways of encouraging inspiration, building bonds, and crossing bridges!

So tomorrow (Sunday), to celebrate International Women’s Day, they’ve planned a 5km fundraising walk ‘March for Change’ in the Demesne, Killarney, starting and ending at the Golden Gates in front of Killarney House, beginning at 10.30am.

All proceeds will go to the Kerry Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre, and the Kerry Women’s Refuge & Support Centre.

The Network has chosen International Women’s Day to show solidarity with two essential support organisations for women in Kerry, on whose services, so many women continue to rely on in their hour of need. If you haven’t personally used these services, then most of us are likely to know someone who has at some point in their life; we just may not aware that we do.

“This 5km walk is a way to support our fellow Kerry women, to raise funds for these much-needed resources, and a time to reconnect or get to know other women in a more relaxed, unhurried way,” Elin Sorensen, KBN’s Chairperson said.

“The event is also a way of encouraging women to get out there and make the most of the beautiful county we live in while racking up a whole lot of healthy benefits.”

KBN helps women play a bigger, better, and more fulfilling role in their businesses and in society. Whether you’re an entrepreneur carving out your place in business, a corporate player on the fast-track, women keen to get back into business after a career break or simply someone who sometimes feels you’re missing a connection somewhere – you’ll find your place with them.

Tickets are €10 and are available on Eventbrite, Facebook, and kbn.ie.
