Let’s Walk the Dog

‘Let's walk the dog!’ A statement which can be received in two ways depending on your mood - 1. Let's go or 2. I couldn’t be bothered!! We have all felt that - sometimes it can be hard to muster up the energy, especially coming into the dark winter months.
SOSAD Ireland believes that a pet can benefit our mental health in a number of ways, from being the motivation you need to head out on the walk you really don’t want to go on - but know you’ll feel better after - to the no judgment ear you need just in the moment.

TV’s James & Iggy know all too well the many benefits of their companionship. James has been very open about his mental health journey on his social media, talking about how Iggy (& pup Frida) have positively impacted his life over the last 9 years. Their wonderful relationship through photography has been recognised and admired all over the world.

SOSAD Ireland, James & Iggy are walking together on the 29th October 2022 with the ‘Let’s walk the Dog’ sponsored walk to raise awareness & funds for SOSAD’s vital mental health services.

We are meeting in Drogheda @ 1pm in St. Dominics Park (by the SkatePark) and walking to Oldbridge where we will have water & light refreshments for all or you can join us virtually by walking anywhere & snapping a pic of you and your pup. Just tag @sosadireland in the picture & use #JamesIggyandSOSAD to raise awareness.
