Get your free blood pressure and pulse checked by the HeartBeat nurses who will be available on today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) from 11am to 5pm and Sunday 12noon to 4pm.
"The HeartBeat Strutters Walk Group is part of HeartBeat’s activities. Led by specialist in cardiac exercise, Kevin Murphy, part of the money we hope to raise will go to light exercise equipment for the benefit of all our walkers with their warm up exercises," Billy O'Sullivan, Chairperson of HeartBeat, said.
"We are at the Killarney Outlet Centre this Friday, Saturday and Sunday and you are invited!"
HeartBeat produces a monthly newsletter 11 months of the year which is a free publication full of health tips and news of the many experts who come to the monthly meetings.
"You can sign up for it online or via An Post at this event. Our meetings are open to everyone."
He also added "a huge thank you to everyone who donated items" over the last week or so.
Wallace Arnold coach drivers return to Killarney
A group of 26 former coach drivers, wives, and friends from the Wallace Arnold tour company returned to Killarney over a recent weekend.
The group travelled from Holyhead to Dublin in a restored Wallace Arnold coach, staying at the Killarney Towers Hotel for three nights.
During the visit, the group drove the vintage coach to local landmarks, including Kate Kearney’s Cottage and Muckross House, before returning to town ahead of the Kerry versus Donegal match. The itinerary also included a trip around the Ring of Kerry.
The trip allowed the former drivers to reconnect and reminisce about their years touring Ireland. Organiser Bob Adams said that the vintage coach drew attention from local residents along the route.
The group noted the absence of several former colleagues who could not travel due to health reasons, including veteran driver Hilton Caldwell who is well known in Killarney.
