Galway Memorial Walk
This year Galway Hospice marks a significant milestone — the 20th Annual Galway Memorial Walk, 20 years of bringing our community together to remember loved ones and to support Galway Hospice.
The Galway Memorial Walk is a day of remembrance and celebration - with live music, family fun, and children’s entertainment. Over 1,000 people are expected to join us on 14th September to walk the 6.5km route from Claddagh to Blackrock and back, wearing t-shirts bearing the names of loved ones.
Galway Hospice looks after over 1,000 patients and their families every year, at home and in the hospice in Renmore. Care is provided free of charge, for as long as it’s needed. This care includes inpatient care, day care, care in homes and in the community, and bereavement support.
All funds raised by the local community help enhance care for patients and their families. For example, by providing equipment for the comfort of patients and through essential projects like a Bereavement Café open to all adults who have experienced a bereavement.
