2nd Annual Recovery Walk

Recovery Walk History

There’s a long history of recovery walks, rallies and other celebration events, many starting in the US over 30 years ago.

Today, as part of September Recovery Month observances in the US, over 100,000 people have participate in Faces & Voices Rally for Recovery! with hundreds of walks across the US, Canada, the UK and in far flung places including Japan, Australia, Tanzania and South Africa.  

Last year’s Recovery Walks! in Philadelphia, PA drew over 18,000 people, all demonstrating the reality of recovery. 

Recovery walks draw people in recovery, family members, friends and allies including elected officials and civic leaders - celebrating recovery, educating the public and policy makers - and offering hope to those still struggling.

austin prior-webWe are delighted to welcome aboard Austin Prior as one of our musicians

Austin Prior, Deputy Director and Head of Continuing Care at Rutland Centre, Dublin is a well known figure amongst people in recovery, but did you know that one of his hobbies is playing the guitar? Austin has very kindly offered to play a few songs for us on the day, but was quick to point out he is no Bono…
