Thank you for visiting my fundraising

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 four 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.

Finished!

Tuesday 1st Oct
We did it! I walked the last 2 miles of our #WalkForWomen in aid of with the added boost of my little chemo bottle (it contains fluorouracil, for those that are interested!) Thrilled with myself, and thankful to my husband Derek for the additional miles to top me up 🥰

Nearly there!

Saturday 28th Sep
Getting the last few miles in over the next couple of days. Today I had two helpers - a chatty 10-year-old joined me on my walk while her dad ran around the hilly loop and met us at the end before jumping in the sea!

One week done!

Sunday 8th Sep
Managed over 20 miles this week, despite me spending around 30 hours in bed over 2 days while the chemo kicked in. 
It's actually been a great motivator to drag myself out of the pyjamas and into the fresh air, which can only be a good thing. 
Thanks to my husband Derek for adding in two runs to top me up!

Walking for Women's Aid in September

Sunday 1st Sep
I am currently having chemotherapy for the fifth time, and while high on steroids I thought it would be a great idea to sign up for the Women's Aid Walk 100 Miles campaign. 
I realised afterwards that a lot of charities have similar campaigns going on in September, but most of them are doing 60 miles...maybe I should have picked one of those! But Women's Aid provides support and care to women at the most vulnerable time of their lives, and is a lifeline for many families. 
So I will try my best to complete the 100 miles, and my husband and daughter have agreed to help me out on the days that the chemo gets too much for me. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
