James Coughlan, Regional Head, British Isles, Ireland & Luxembourg, and North America & Caribbean at TMF Group, said:
"TMF Group is incredibly proud to support the Island Walk and the remarkable impact it continues to have across our community.
"The dedication of every walker, volunteer, supporter, and sponsor is truly inspiring, and we are delighted to play a small part in helping make a positive difference."
