Speaking at the event, organiser Amy Brett said: "It’s freezing which stands to say a lot. Ashling lost her life two years ago and I don’t think anyone doesn’t think of her when they’re out for a run.
"What we’re about to do is what she went out to do. It’s so great to see that she is honored in such a lovely way.
"Her family said to give their thanks and the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund, where all the donations are going, expressed their thanks."
A post on the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund Instagram page showed videos of the large group of people walking through the park. The post read: "Thank you to all the wonderful people in New York that braved Central Park in sub-zero temperatures yesterday morning, Sunday 21st January, for the 3rd Annual Walk in memory of Ashling. "This beautiful event attended by over 100 people highlights the lasting mark Ashling left on the lives of many both close to home and further afield. The Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund strives to continue Ashling’s lasting legacy with your kind support."
