Story

In June 2020 a group of relative strangers got together with common goal to train as a group. 

It was initially thought to be a short term plan while the gyms were closed but over time strong bonds were made, fitness goals conquered and a love of being outdoors realised, even in the middle of winter🥶

In recognition of how lucky we all are to have our health and also of the great friendships we have made and because we all like to challenge ourselves we have decided to take on a group challenge in June 2022 to run from Malin to Mizen as a continuous relay. 

Our goal is to do this over 3 days with a member of the team running (with Wally) at all times to raise awareness and funds for the Music Therapy Dept. in CHI at Crumlin. 

The video over on our Instagram @wallythewarriorm2m and Twitter @WarriorWally1shows just how valuable Music Therapy is to sick children and their parents during some of the most difficult times in their lives. We hope you can join us on our journey and help us increase the hours of Music Therapy available to sick children. 

Watch out for Wally! our Warrior Mascot as he makes his way from Malin to Mizen clocking up miles for music!
