Up to 50 Tirlán employees are lacing up their boots and scaling new heights to raise needed funds for Aware.

The volunteers have been in training for the event which takes place today and tomorrow.

The farmer-owned cooperative has a long and proud history and tradition of fundraising, supporting local communities and assisting in many worthy causes and the organisers have set a €40,000 fundraising target for this year’s event.

James Brennan, Tirlán Two Peaks Challenge organiser told KCLR News; “The charity hike, that’s going to take place in Connemara National Park, a two-day event and will include part of the Maamturk Mountain range, the group will climb over 18m over the two days and cover a distance of 22kms”.

Dr Lisa Koep, Head of ESG at Tirlán, is one of those taking part in this l participants. “Raising funds for worthy causes working in our communities has always been a tradition in Tirlán and it central to our ‘Living Proof’ sustainability strategy.

“As we climb, we will be thinking of the many people who face very different challenges every single day of their lives but who dig deep and overcome them, often with the support of hands-on charities such as Aware. Their strength and courage will drive us on as we complete our fundraising climb.”

Stephen Butterly, Head of Fundraising at Aware said: “Depression is a significant societal issue that is impacting families and communities all over Ireland, every single day. We want to be here for everyone who needs us. Recognition and support from corporate organisations like Tirlán benefit us hugely in our quest to achieve that.

“Charity partnerships like this one with Tirlán do much more than fundraise to support our nationwide services. They raise awareness. They break the stigma. They start conversations about how people are feeling, what supports can be accessed and can make a real difference to the many out there who are still struggling in silence.”

This latest endeavour will see proceeds go to the national organisation supporting people impacted by depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and related mood conditions – you can add your donation here.
