Southern Area Hospice is delighted to once again support hospice volunteer and event organiser Deborah Kennedy as she prepares for the 34th Annual Towpath Walk, taking place on Sunday, 27 April 2025, in Newry.
Deborah and the Hospice invite people from across the Southern Trust area to take part in this 6-mile walking challenge, which sets off from the Basin Walk car park (outside Cue Club) in Newry at 12 pm sharp on Sunday, 27th April. The route follows the Newry Towpath to Steenson’s Bridge and back, with a short rest and refreshments at the halfway point before walkers return to the Cue Club. Free parking will be available at the Basin Walk car park on the day.
Deborah commented: “I am thrilled to be back organising the Hospice Towpath Walk for its 34th year. This event has raised over £350,000 for our local Hospice to date and I am hoping this year will be just as successful as the rest. Everyone is welcome to take part in this event as we walk together to raise much needed funds. I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 27th April.”
Registration for this event is free and so Southern Area Hospice asks that each person who registers raises a minimum of £34 which represents £1 for every year it has taken place. You can register online now via the Hospice’s events calendar at www.southernareahospiceservices.org or phone our fundraising office on 028 3026 7711. All walkers must pre-register if they would like to take part, as there will be no registration on the day.
