Since 1986, Belvedere College students have gone the distance for charity, raising over €1.5 million through their Block-pull trek from Dublin to Galway.  This year's inspiring group of forty are walking for Temple Street Children's University Hospital and Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Their journey kicked off at 09:00 on Sunday passed at the Mill Shopping Centre in Clondalkin and will end this Sunday, the 27th of June, when they reach their final destination in Loughrea, Oranmore, Galway.

By then, they would have walked the following route, doing collections along the way:

Sunday, 20 June - Clondalkin to Naas
Monday, 21 June - Naas to Monasterevin
Tuesday, 22 June- Monasterevin to Mountmellick
Wednesday, 23 June - Mountmellick to Kilbeggan (via Tullamore)
Thursday, 24 June - Kilbeggan to Athlone
Friday, 25 June - Athlone to Ballinasloe
Saturday, 26 June - Ballinasloe to Loughrea
Sunday, 27 June - Galway

They will set out on Sunday morning at the unearthly hour of 2am in the morning to make it to Galway in time to attend a reception at the Mayor's Office.

Please support the Belvedere Boys fundraising drive and help give someone the gift of improved mobility and independence....
