Walk to Cork for David
The Walk to Cork for David 2024 event is off and running starting on November 17, 2024 (the fifth anniversary of David's passing). This is the fifth year we are holding this fund-raising and awareness-raising event.
​
Friends, family and other supporters (anywhere in the World) are invited to walk or run (any distance over 1 mile is fine as long as it is a "proper" walk or run and not just random walking around the house!) between now and December 31st 2024 in David’s name to support LLS.
​
The objective is to collectively clock up enough miles to cover the distance from David's home in Armonk (New York US) to Cork (Ireland) – 3,481 miles (and raise money for LLS). Last year we walked 3,821 miles, so let's try to beat that!
​
Log your miles (either after each run/walk or add multiple runs/walks together) using the form on this page (please submit miles at least once per week). The map below will be updated periodically so that everyone can see our progress. And since David was such a competitive soul, it is only appropriate that we maintain a leader board of the top 10 walkers (for those who want to be competitive) in terms of cumulative miles ("Display Name" will be shown - you just need to pick a name the first time you log a walk).
​
​Click here or the button below go to the fundraising page for this event and please encourage your friends to donate or to join the walk (suggestion – post to your social media pages to get more hits!). Please also send any photos or videos of your walk to and I will post them to this site.
