We made it!

April 2, 2008 – 6:37 pm

On Monday morning at 10:30 the runners departed the Clock Tower in Waterford City and made their way to Kilkenny. On Tuesday they passed through Carlow and along the N81, reaching Dublin late that evening. On Wednesday the baton was passed to Ken McGrath and Michael “Brick” Walsh who carried a letter of support and a petition to the steps of the Dáil where it was presented to the officials. A massive gathering of hundreds of people, street entertainers, politicians and others, packed Kildare St as the Garda escort delivered the final runners to their destination. Truly an epic journey and the message was delivered. A huge message of thanks to everyone that made it on the day and to all those who helped with the incredible amount of organisation that this event took to become a reality. The message has been sent and now we have to make sure that it is understood!

We are still gathering all the photos and video of the event but we will publish them soon to the site so make sure you check back for updates.
