Supporting Suicide Awareness – Kathleen Lynn memorial walk
 |
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the death of Kathleen Lynn, who died in September 1955. To mark this anniversary the East Wall History Group will be hosting a memorial walk at Glenmalure, County Wicklow, on Saturday, 12th September.
Glenmalure was an area where Lynn spent many happy occasions in beautiful surroundings. Setting out at 1.00 p.m. from Glenmalure Hostel, there will be experienced guides leading the walkers on two separate routes – this will cater for all abilities and participants will have the option of a one hour walk or a two hour walk. In July the East Wall History Group and the Alternative Visions Oral History Group hosted the inaugural Sarah Lundberg Summer School on the subject of “Kathleen Lynn, a truly radical woman”, at which this event was proposed. This will be another opportunity to honour the memory of two remarkable women, and is being held with the support of "The friends of Glenmalure". In light of the tragic passing of our friend Sarah the walk will be include a fund raising aspect. Sponsor cards are available (or donations can be made) with all monies raised benefitting the Cycle Against Suicide initiative, which works with young people.
