I’m taking part in the Walk 100 Miles in September Challenge 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.

Still unwell
Saturday 19th Sep
Sick as a small hospital 😂
Friday 18th Sep Not well atall the last couple of days, but today wasn’t great! Tried to do my stuff but I was so out of breath & hot I couldn’t manage much!! It’s either a flu, the plague r Covid has got me again! But either way I tried x it’s not lost on me that I’m allowed to be ill & to be able
Steps come in all sizes!!!
Wednesday 16th Sep
Half way!!!!!
Tuesday 15th Sep I’m half way!!!! Can’t believe it! I’ve been ahead of schedule the whole time & I couldn’t be prouder of myself! Hopefully I can add to the fundraising to make it more sweet x
Yesterday
Saturday 12th Sep Yesterday was a hard one! Got new runners & they literally caused me pain the whole time 😫 the relief when I got home to take them off, can’t even explain the exhale! 😎 after I got over my little whinge it occurred to me…the reason I’m doing this is to help people get out of painful situations & live a feeling of relief..eventually 😎 isn’t it ironic… x Share
Rowing, Rain & Rainbows 🌈
Thursday 10th Sep Day 10!!! Day bloody 10, can’t actually believe I’ve made it a 1/3 of the way through!! Sometimes when Ur in a dark
Day 8 - end of week 1!!!
Tuesday 8th Sep Can’t believe this week is over already! The walking sometimes seems long but the challenge is flying by! Maybe I shud get a helicopter instead 🤔 any hoo, it’s only reminds me that I’m so lucky to be in the position to have free will & do whatever I want, if any of the money raised can help one person not to spend one more minute being in an unsafe place & be free I’d do this every day 💜 thanks again all you fab people x Share
Day 7 - just keep schlepping.......
Monday 7th Sep So I'm still alive on day 7 YAY!! and guess what??? it's raining again BOO! but TBH I'm kinda glad cause I'm less likely to see other humans in the wild who can witness me schlepping in the rain! But the cause is so worthy I'm so happy I started this, while wondering why didn't I chose something involving the sofa instead!!
Day 6 - Sunday with the squirrels
Sunday 6th Sep Had to double my distance today to make up for yesterday’s wander from the goal! In fairness it was for the man
Day 4, because why walk to the fridge when you can walk 5K for a brilliant cause!
Friday 4th Sep So seemingly going for a 'little walk' has escalated....Will I become a fitness icon?? Absolutely not. Will I complain about my feet?? 100%. Will I keep going?? You bet your sweet patootie I will.....
Day 3, I’m gonna need a bigger boat 😂
Thursday 3rd Sep So today’s walk officially made me think I might be better doing this challenge on a boat rather than walking!!! 🚤 Dublin, you never fail to rise to the occasion 🌧️ drownded rat is an understatement, lashed on from start to finish, but I did it, all without a wetsuit or a parrot 🦜I just wanna say thanks again for all your donations, hopefully they can be used to buy a lifeboat to some woman out there who is at risk of drowning x appreciate all the kind words & the treasure 🏴☠️ soz enough of the pirate puns, Thanks, I mean it 💜 Share
Day 3, Sporty Era activated!!!
Thursday 3rd Sep So....following yesterday's wardrobe malfunction, later today, for day 3 I'll be going back to my Women's Aid
Red but not dead 💀
Wednesday 2nd Sep
Day 2…..21 degrees in Dublin
Wednesday 2nd Sep Well let’s just say today’s walk was interesting!! All I’ll say is if Ur phone tells you it’s 21 degrees & the air is as clammy as wearing a fur coat in a sauna, don’t…. I repeat DON’T do Ur walk in ur work clothes, and a raincoat and a mahoosive backpack! Cause Lads, Dora the Explorer I am not!!! Let’s just say I won’t be rolling out a business plan for a wet wooly jumper competition any time soon!!! 🤫 🍉 🍉 anyhoo…..really question my life choices sometimes till i remember the fantastic cause! I’ll ’just Keep swimming’ 🐠 one step at a time 👠 Share
And just like that..........
Wednesday 2nd Sep SO here we are, Day 2!
Day One!
