From Galway To Leitrim By Foot
Mick Moran was the son of Michael and Margaret (RIP), the eldest of three and father of a beautiful girl, Sophie. He started his career with ESB and was very proud to be part of the organisation. He got his engineering degree with GMIT in Galway and completed his Masters with UCD. Upon completion, he was promoted regularly within ESB Networks.
He took great pride in every challenge he undertook and put everything into achieving it and celebrating his successes. Mick died by suicide on October 6th, 2017.
In memory of Mick Moran, on Sunday September 30th, Mick’s brother David and close friends will set out to walk from Eyre Square in Galway to Kinlough in Leitrim.
A Facebook fundraising campaign has already raised €12,000 with all monies raised being donated to Pieta House, which provide a free, therapeutic approach to people who are in suicidal distress and those who engage in self-harm.
The walk will take place over seven days with a number of bucket collections each day along the route. You can find out more information and donate here.
The memorial walk recreates a walk which Mick himself undertook in 2004 raising almost €10,000 for charity. The four walkers will carry Mick’s backpack, sharing the load between them.
David Moran told Dave Duke from The Hub why it's important to do this walk in memory of his brother Mick.
