Hi everyone,
Last year I got through a tough year with cancer. This year, 12 months later, I am walking the Camino in September in support of all survivors of cancer but specifically in aid of our Nurses for Night Care service at the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Hi everyone,

I will walk about 120km (started already - Croagh Patrick done recently) over 6 days. Any help you can give to me is so gratefully received.
I work for the Irish Hospice Foundation - a great charity and Nurses for Night Care is a great cause.

I can’t make M&S on Saturday, so here’s a little donation to the walk. Enjoy.
