Katrina from Cork ARC was delighted to catch up with the Activator Pole facilitators and, some of the attendees of the weekly activator pole walks recently.

Held at Tramore Valley Park, these walks are overseen by volunteers who are trained facilitators for the correct use of Activator poles.

Interested? After taking part in a taster session, you will be invited to join the weekly group and can attend as/when you are available!

ACTIVATOR™️ Poles were designed specifically for rehab by an occupational therapist.
Walking with these specific poles helps improve stability, reduces impact on hip and knee joints, improves core strength and posture, and helps promote a functional gait pattern.
As well as walking with the poles, they can support you while taking part in specific exercises that can additionally help assist with balance and joint mobility.
This is a great way to exercise, get fresh air and also connect by having a cuppa afterwards!

Huge thanks to John P. Foley for coming to Cork ARC House represent Sunday's Well RFC in making a presentation to Jenny and the team at Cork ARC Cancer Support House. The donation was raised through the club's Ladies' Lunch held in April, where John shared his personal journey and the support he received from Cork ARC during a difficult time. The club would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the event, helping us support the outstanding work carried out by Cork ARC for individuals and families across our community. 💙🏉

More about the event:
🥊 FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE CLOSE TO HOME
This is more than a boxing event. It’s a fight for a cause that means something deeply personal to two members of our boxing community.
Peter Higgins, coach at Mayfield Boxing Club, and Patrick Fitzgibbon, coach at Muskerry Boxing Club, have both been directly affected by cancer. For this fundraiser, each has chosen a charity that holds a special place in their hearts.
Peter has chosen The Cork ARC Cancer Support House, supporting people and families affected by cancer.

Patrick has chosen Ronald McDonald House in Crumlin, providing a place of support and comfort for families whose children are receiving serious medical treatment.

On the night, our boxers will step between the ropes and give everything they have. But this time, the fight represents something bigger than winning or losing.
It’s about standing together, supporting families, raising awareness and giving back to two incredible charities.

One ring. Two teams. Two charities. One powerful cause.
Every ticket, donation, share and bit of support will help us make this fundraiser a success.

🥊 LACE UP. STEP UP. FIGHT FOR A CAUSE.
Together, we can make a difference.
