Participants from the legal profession including solicitors, barristers, judiciary and support staff set off from outside the High Court in Belfast for the five-kilometre walk/run to the Titanic Centre and back.

The now annual charity event was organised by the Law Society of Northern Ireland in support of the Boom Foundation, a local charity dedicated to supporting patients with sarcoma in Northern Ireland.

Harbinson Mulholland Chartered Accountants showed their ongoing support to the legal profession by sponsoring the event.

Darren Toombs, president of the Law Society of Northern Ireland, said: “Once again members of the legal profession have stepped up in support of the Boom Foundation, our charity of the year, and I am delighted that so many joined us in making the Legal Walk/Run such a success.

“Thank you to the Lady Chief Justice and members of the judiciary for their ongoing support and participation in the event also.”

Leona O’Neill, chair of the Boom Foundation, said: “Thank you to all who took part in the Legal Walk Run 2024. The money raised will make a huge difference in supporting patients with Sarcoma and their families in Northern Ireland.”
