Walkers from Roscommon are taking part in a charity trek to raise funds for Mary's Meals.
The group departed from Roscommon Town this morning as they join others from all over the country who are making the trek to the Marian Shrine in Knock.
This year celebrates 14 years of the Step by Step to Feed the Next Child Walk. Each year, people from all over Ireland join the walk, raising vital funds to help feed hungry children in some of the world’s poorest communities.
This year's group includes walkers from Tipperary, Donegal, Cork, Leitrim, Sligo, Portlaoise and Roscommon.
The trek takes place over nine days, and the volunteers are expected to reach Knock on Saturday.
