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.

My Updates

100 Miles, 100% Milestone

Saturday 3rd Oct
As September has wrapped up, I'm delighted to announce that I surpassed both the fundraising target and the distance target for this challenge. I walked about 115 miles over the course of September. I have fundraised €300 over the past few weeks for Women's Aid. I'm delighted with how this has gone considering this is the first time I have ever done a fundraiser before. Thanks to each and every one of my sponsors from the bottom of my heart. I am blown away by the generosity of ordinary people and I am so grateful to you all.

75% Milestone

Wednesday 9th Sep
I'd like to give thanks to everyone who has generously  donated to my fundraiser so far. I have surpassed the three quarter mark for the target I set for myself back in August. I couldn't be more thrilled! 💜

From my end I have also completed over a fifth of the distance required. I landed exactly on 20 miles (20%) on 06/09 which is coincidentally exactly 20% of the way through the month of September. There are definitely some days which are easier than others with the changeable weather this time of year. I prefer the days where I can breathe in the fresh air on my walks over the ones where I walk laps of the kitchen.

50% Milestone

Thursday 27th Aug
I'd like to thank everyone who has donated to this fundraiser so far. This is a quick update to announce that I have surpassed the 50% mark after raising over €131 so far. I will be recording my distance walked from 01/09 so fingers crossed there'll be a few dry days 🎗️

25% Milestone

Saturday 22nd Aug
I'd like to quickly thank everyone who has donated to such a worthy cause before I log off for bed tonight 💜

Fundraising Target

Monday 17th Aug
This is my inaugural post to kick off my fundraising efforts. I will (hopefully!) continue to post a few more times over the course of August and September. This will be a pretty light-hearted post.

I picked a fundraising target of €262 this year. The recommended target was €250 per participant. This is the first time I have signed up to do any type of charitable challenge solo. I picked €262 as a nod to the registration plates of new cars. We have always had a competition in my house every January growing up to spot the first new car before other members of the family do. Since 2013, we have looked out for new cars twice a year in January and July. I picked 262 as a fun nod to that tradition.

Thank you to my Sponsors
