Thank you for visiting my fundraising page

I’m walking 80K this February to raise much needed funds for Women’s Aid.

Across Ireland one in three women live with suffocating abuse from someone they once loved; someone they once trusted. Every 5 minutes, someone reaches out to Women’s Aid for information and support.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little, anything helps. I hope you can support me by donating whatever you can. By supporting Women’s Aid you can change lives, and save lives.

Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely. You can also share my page using Share options below. This is a great way to show your support.

Thanks so much for your support, it will bring hope, healing and the possibility of a brighter future for women and children.

Last 3 km done!
80km walked with 3 days spare!
WomensAid ie - your Challenge has been met!!

Now hoping to raise another €100 to double the fundraising goal and hit €500.

That just needs 20 kind hearts to donate €5 each by Feb 28th!

Thank you if you can be one of them 🙏💕
Thank you to those who've already donated xx

Running between raindrops!!

Monday 23rd Feb
February weather UGH!
Lots of rain and wind but 4km banked ..... and maybe more later!!

The great news is with 5 days to go, there's just 8km still to go...Yay!

Can't tell you how much I LOVE that number compared to the goal of 80km on Feb 1st!!!

Hey Ireland, any change in your pockets.....?

Sunday 15th Feb
..... down the back of the couch, thrown in an old drawer .... anywhere?

Please dig a few euro out and donate to #WomensAidIreland to help the ONE in THREE women subjected to DOMESTIC ABUSE every year.....

You're helping more than Mothers, importantly you're  helping their children who don't deserve to live in an environment where eggshells are the floor covering they walk on, helplessness the feeling, fear the dinner filling their stomachs, music the block to screams,  shame the covering for cuts, bruises,  torn hair and smashed up homes, emotional withdrawl the protection that will need future therapy!

Please donate whatever you can to families living with the horror of domestic abuse.

Thank you.


Valentines Day Freeze!!

Saturday 14th Feb
Not a love filled day for walking, so a very quick skip between rain & sleet before deciding, to try again tomorrow!

1.5km added..... frozen in the process!.

Happy Valentines day to you all!

Halway reached Feb 13th!

Friday 13th Feb
Yippee!
Another 5km just walked with my trusty little team ....
Maze the Pacemaker
Maddie the dynamo

How those little hairy legs keep going I don't know ...but they do!

So on Feb 13th, with a day in hand, we've reached the halfway stage.... another 40km to walk, a further €108 to hit my goal.

Every cent going to help families who's lives are blighted by domestic abuse.

Please help,.... any share raises the Charity profile......
and any amount helps families directly .....

I know times are hard but even the price of a coffee, or change found down the back of the couch helps ....every cent makes a difference to a Cinderella charity.

Thanks so much for anything you can spare 🙏💕🫂

50/70

Saturday 7th Feb
When I hit 50, I did my first 5k for a Children's charity..... it seemed a big deal at the time.

23 years, 7 heart stents and a hip replacement later.... doing THREE x 5 km a week and they seem a stroll.
Never too old to get out and walk.. 

Just off for today's stroll, hopefully another 5km to add when I return  😂

Knowing Feb was going to be a challenging month time wise (it hasn't disappointed), I'd banked some KM late January and today
added 4 of them to my total walked! 


No glass slipper & No Prince Charming!

Friday 2nd Jan
Domestic violence is a Cinderella issue, hidden from view and missing any Prince (or Princess)Charming.

It can happen in any relationship, in many forms coercive control, isolation, financial, sexual and general physical abuse,.

All are soul and person destroying and if children are part of the family unit, likely very emotionally destructive to them, with damage that can last a lifetime.

Don't let abuse happen twice, despite pleas or promises.
Get help from Womens Aid, Citizens information or the Garda. 

Please make that call!
All are experienced and will help.

Its mainly a male to female problem but men can also be victims.  

No one deserves it, please get help!
