2011 National Dog Walk
The Limerick National Dog Walk on Easter Monday proved to be a great success. With almost 100 dogs taking part in so many different shapes, colours and sizes the walk was enjoyed by everyone.
The event was due to be started by Deputy Mayor Cormac Hurley, but when the dogs heard their cue music "who let the dogs out" they were off! There was no stopping them or calling them back. Weather wise we had a great day, a little overcast, but no rain.
Too early to say how much was raised, but we would like to thank everyone who participated and especially those who raised sponsorship money for us. A big thank you also to David who provided some great music, the Irish Red Cross for being on stand-by, the local Gardai, Carers Association staff who volunteered their time to support us and to all the Petmania staff who got behind the event 100%

Brave Joanne had to cross over scaffolding to reach the beacon!! Thank you to everyone who supported Joanne along the way. Joanne's epic adventure managed to raise €18,640 for The Carers Association with money still coming in we hope to reach our €20k target!
