One week to go until annual Good Friday walk for Kerry Hospice
One week to go until annual Good Friday walk for Kerry Hospice
There is just one week to go until the annual Good Friday charity walk in aid of the Kerry Hospice Foundation and Killarney Palliative Care.
Taking place on April 3, the event serves as a major fundraiser for local services and a time of remembrance for the community.
This year’s walk is organised in special memory of Vivien O’Shea and Sheila McGillycuddy, two well-known Killarney women who passed away from life-limiting illnesses. The event also honours all those in the community who have lost their lives to similar conditions.
Local businessman Niall O’Sullivan has been named as the official ambassador for the 2026 walk.
Niall is the son of the late Andy O’Sullivan, a dedicated supporter of the Foundation who passed away in November 2024.
Following the care Andy received from the palliative care team, the O’Sullivan family has continued to support the cause through various fundraising efforts.
The event will begin with registration at the Garden Restaurant, Muckross House, from 9.30am, with the walk officially getting underway at 10.30am.
While there is no set registration fee, participants are encouraged to make a voluntary bucket donation.
Following the walk, participants can enjoy complimentary tea and coffee, and there will be a raffle with a variety of prizes.
First day for Lissivigeen Junior Infants
Excitement filled the air in Lissivigeen National School on Thursday as more than 30 Junior Infants marked their very first day of school.
The new pupils settled into their classrooms, taking their first big steps in primary education under the guidance of Principal Ellen Cagney, teachers Kristine Sheahan and Bríd Ryan, and SNA Marie Carroll-O’Sullivan. The children spent their morning making new friends, exploring their classrooms, and getting used to school routine during a memorable milestone for the school community.
