Your Impact in Numbers: How Donations Are Changing Lives

As we enter the final stretch of the RIP.ie Remembers Walk, the generosity of families, friends, and communities across Ireland has already created a wave of compassion that is being felt nationwide. Together, walkers and supporters have raised an extraordinary €63,829 so far. Each euro is a tribute, each step is a remembrance, and each donation is a lifeline for someone in need.

As we approach the end of the month, this is the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the real and tangible impact your support is making.

What Your Donations Are Achieving

Every contribution, big or small, is helping charities provide comfort, dignity, and vital care to people facing some of life's hardest moments. Here is how your fundraising is already making a difference.

Hospice Care

Your support is helping hospices offer:

• Specialist end of life care
• Home visits for families who wish to remain together
• Bereavement counselling and support groups
• Peaceful and dignified environments for patients in their final days

Health and Heart Support

Funds raised for national health charities are enabling:

• Lifesaving cardiac research
• Rapid response community heart services
• Patient education and rehabilitation programmes
• Support lines for families navigating illness

Cancer Care and Research

Your donations are helping to:

• Fund cancer nurses who support families through diagnosis and treatment
• Provide transport services for patients travelling to appointments
• Support pioneering research that brings hope for better outcomes

This is the real power of community. You are turning remembrance into action and grief into something quietly transformative.

Top 5 Charities Supported So Far

The RIP.ie community has rallied behind dozens of charities. These five have seen the highest levels of support to date.

Each of these organisations plays a vital role in supporting families at moments of profound vulnerability. Your fundraising is helping them continue that work with compassion and dignity.

A Community Walking With Purpose

The RIP.ie Remembers Walk is more than a fundraiser. It is a shared act of remembrance. Every name carried, every candle lit, and every step taken honours someone loved and missed. Through your efforts, their memory is helping others find comfort, care, and hope.

There is still time to:

• Share your fundraising page
• Invite others to join the walk
• Dedicate a step, a KM, or a moment to someone special
