From the event management team in El Camino Del Garda we want to thank the Little Blue Heroes Foundation for the handover today. A brilliant amount was raised for the fantastic Charity.

From its inception in 2017 to August 2022 The Little Blue Heroes Foundation has lost 33 Honorary Gardaí.

On our Camino in August 2022 we dedicated a 3km stretch along the Royal Canal, to each Honorary Garda who had passed away.

In the little time since August 2022 to May 2023, 13 more Honorary Gardaí have passed.

With our walk this year, we again dedicated a 3km section of the Grand Canal and Barrow Line to each of our Little Blue Heroes who are no longer with us.

Our walkers were honored that family members joined us on our journey to walk their own section dedicated to their Little Blue Hero.

Each section will never ever be used again for any other Little Blue Hero.
