Walk In My Shoes

Yesterday’s inaugural mile for 'Walk In My Shoes' turned into a DTC choral flash mob much to the delight of the un-expecting shoppers. The unpredictable weather meant that the procession lead by Nora Casey and Mary Lowe of Corus stayed indoors and wound it’s way from the main fountain up the escalators to the top floor. The glass dome of the Dundrum Town Centre provided an ideal acoustic accompaniment to a hearty version of Lady Gaga’s ‘I’m On The Edge’ with Gavin Duffy clearly enjoying the occasion for such a good cause. St Patrick’s Hospital CEO Paul Gilligan, delighted by the countrywide event which raised valuable funds for youth mental health,joined in the spirit of event with his dapper pinstripe suit and funky footwear. The theme ‘Walk In My Shoes’ encouraged participants to wear some fun and unusual shoes, walk a mile and donate €2. It was inspiring to see Nora Casey looking every bit the pillar of strength that she is reputed to be lending a heart and a shoulder to former Dragon Sarah Newman who also came along to enjoy the occasion.
