Every walker will receive a FREE bright KMHA-branded bandana to be worn for the Official Human Chain Challenge Drone picture which will be taken at the first stage of the ascent.
The registered walkers will need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear, children must be accompanied by responsible adults and dogs are not permitted. Car-pooling is also recommended as limited parking spaces will be available.
Kerry Mental Health Association supports the Leave No Trace campaign and will be encouraging all participants to leave Strickeen Mountain in the spotless condition that they found it.
The Human Chain Challenge at Strickeen on Sunday 6th October will be preceded by the annual #TieDayFriday Fundraising event on Friday 4th October – both taking place to coincide with World Mental Health Day on 10th October.
