The landslide on Strickeen Mountain on the eve of last month’s Human Chain Challenge didn’t deter the nearly 200 people from taking part in support of fundraiser for the Kerry Mental Health Association.
The event was sponsored by Kate Kearney’s Cottage in the Gap of Dunloe near from where the walkers set-off on their journey up the mountain on Sunday, October 6.
In presenting a cheque for €1,000 to Kerry Mental Health Association, the owner of Kate Kearney’s Cottage, Seán Coffey said the event promotes good mental health for everyone in the community.
“The sun was shining on the morning of the Human Chain Challenge which made for a great occasion,” he remarked.
The participants, ranging from age five and upwards walked about 500 metres up the mountain before stopping to join hands to form the Human Chain.
It was organised by Kerry Mental Health Association with a view to bringing communities together to show support for others who may be struggling with mental health difficulties.
The Human Chain Challenge was one of more than 100 events taking place during the Kerry Mental Health and Wellbeing Fest.
