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.

Day 1 of 80km: Abuse isn't always visible.

Sunday 1st Feb
Today I start my 80 km walking challenge for Women’s Aid. As I take my first steps, I want to share something important: abuse is about power and control, and it often leaves no physical scars.

How do you recognize it? According to Women’s Aid, abuse can look like:

Emotional Abuse: Constant criticism, gaslighting, or making you feel "crazy."

Coercive Control: A pattern of intimidation, isolation from friends/family, and monitoring your every move.

Financial Abuse: Controlling your money or preventing you from working.

Digital Abuse: Demanding passwords or tracking your location via phone.

Physical & Sexual Abuse: Any form of physical harm or non-consensual contact.

If someone’s behavior makes you feel afraid, walking on eggshells, or controlled, it is abuse.

👟 Follow my journey this February and help me support victims of domestic violence.
