4th ANNUAL PEACE WALK - YOUR WALK, YOUR WAY
Monday 21 September 2020 marks UN International Peace Day which calls for 24-hours of non-violence and ceasefire. Normally to coincide with International Peace Day, we hold our Annual Peace Walk on-site at Glencree to help raise vital funds for our peacebuilding work. This year, we are taking a different approach.
Due to latest Covid-19 guidelines, we ask you to support our 4th Annual Peace Walk fundraiser by walking remotely - Your Walk, Your Way.
WALK REMOTELY to help raise funds for our peacebuilding work.
Your Walk, Your Way
Where: Support Us Remotely, wherever you are
When: Monday 21st September to coincide with International Peace Day or a day that suits you before the end of Sept.

Looking for some inspiration for your walk?
Here are some ideas that remind us of the 24-hours of non-violence and ceasefire called on by the UN on International Peace Day.- Walk 240 steps around your garden every day for a week – raise what you can
- Walk with 3 friends for an hour (240 mins combined walking) – raise €60 each
- Walk 24,000 steps for peace – raise one cent per step
- Rally your tribe - start a 24-hour peace walk in your area
- Go Global – reach out to your friends around the world and Zoom walk together
Find the walk that works for you, find your inner peace
Every step counts on the path to peace. Every Euro you raise helps our vital peacebuilding work.
Pledge to raise €240 (the equivalent of €10 per hour x 24 hours of non-violence) or set your own target.
Reach out and get the support of your family, friends, work colleagues, book club, football team, fellow cyclists, walking club ... the possibilities are endless.
