I’m Taking on 100km in 30 Days

Cancer has touched my life in more ways than I can count.

I lost my Mam to a brain tumour when I was 13 & my Dad to oesophageal cancer in 2009. Other close family members & friends have also been taken by cancer, but thankfully many more have come through their own battles & are living proof of how important every breakthrough in research really is.

In 2020, I had my own mini scare. Thankfully, for me, “benign” will always be the greatest word in any language.

Today, I have friends who are facing cancer journeys in very different ways: some are just starting treatment, some are in remission, others unfortunately facing difficult futures. Watching people you care about go through this reminds you how important the support they receive is.

That's why I'm taking on the 100k in 30 Days Challenge in June to support the Marie Keating Foundation. All funds raised support the foundation's free cancer support services, including nurse helpline support, education programmes, early detection awareness, & community outreach across Ireland.

On a personal level, this challenge comes at a time when I'm struggling with my mental health. Committing to getting out & walking every day will give me purpose, structure & a positive goal to focus on. If I can improve my own wellbeing while helping raise money for such an important cause, that's a win worth walking for.

Thank you for any support, donation or encouragement along the way. Every step & every euro makes a difference.

I'm fundraising for the Marie Keating Foundation - so they can keep supporting those impacted by cancer.

Week 1 Complete

Sunday 7th Jun
Thanks so much to everyone who’s donated. So appreciate it 🫶🏻
I’ve one week down & a third of the way to the original target so I’m raising the stakes & setting a new one to reach 120km in the 30 days. I might regret that if the weather doesn’t pick up but that’s what it’s about - being consistent.
