Students and teachers raised money for St Patrick's Mental Health Service by participating in Funky Shoes Day on Friday 9th October by wearing odd or mismatched shoes as part of the Walk in My Shoes campaign. The campaign came about when a 16-year-old in St Patrick’s Hospital said he wished his friends could put themselves in his shoes. The thought struck a chord, and Walk In My Shoes was born. The aim of participating in Funky Shoes Day was to help raise funds and stamp out the stigma that surrounds mental health difficulties. Congratulations to Dawid Kurzydio who won the student category by sporting one purple flipper and one runner and to Mr Doyle who won the teacher category by sporting one gorilla shoe and one bunny shoe..... very fetching Mr Doyle.
