Take part in this year’s Boots Night Walk on Tuesday 9th September
Now in its fourteenth year, the Boots Night Walk raises vital funds for the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing Service, which provides end of life care for cancer patients in their own home.
To date, thanks to the generosity of our customers and colleagues, the Boots Ireland partnership with the Irish Cancer Society has raised over €4 million, equating to over 10,350 nights of care.
Speaking about the event, this year’s ambassador Maia Dunphy said: “Being part of the Boots Night Walk is incredibly meaningful to me. The Night Nurses offer such profound comfort and dignity at a time when families need it most … I truly hope everyone can join us on September 9th, whether in Phoenix Park or in their own communities, to support this vital service.”

Alongside the walk, Honour Tags will be on sale in Boots stores nationwide for €3. Customers can purchase a tag in honour of someone who has survived or passed away from cancer. The Honour Tags provide space for you to reflect or remember someone affected by cancer. Colleagues from Boots and members of the public come together at the Night Walk to reflect, remember and honour these individuals affected by cancer. The Night Walk is also an opportunity to honour with gratitude the work of the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing Service and the invaluable care they provide.
Boots Ireland has partnered with the Irish Cancer Society since 2012
and through the support of Boots Ireland team members, patients and
customers within that time have raised over €4 million helping to provide the
equivalent of approximately 10,350 nights of care for the Night Nursing service.
All funds raised from the Night Walk will go towards the Irish Cancer Society Night Nursing Service which provides end of life care for cancer patients, allowing them to pass away at home surrounded by family and loved ones as well as giving much needed respite for the family caring for them.
