The funds raised will go towards community services.
Midlands Simon Community is launching its ‘Step Up for Simon’ summer challenge.
The initiative encourages people to walk 15,000 steps a day for 15 days in July or August to raise funds for homelessness services.
The challenge supports emergency accommodation, outreach, and long-term housing solutions across Laois, Offaly, Westmeath, and Longford.
The event is free to join and participants can register and track their progress online with prizes for top fundraisers in each county.
Midlands Simon Community Fundraising Officer Michael O'Brien says the funds will go towards vital community services:
