This walk idea started in 2014 when I stayed in Castletownbeare and met the O'Sullivan chieftain. Over a few days he suggested I walk the walk and I laughed at him and gave the usual excuses - I am not completely crazy, too old, too far and I am a female.
What I didn't realise was he had planted the seed in my head which would not go away.
On my return to work some of the staff suggested I walk and again I gave the same excuses but at the back of my mind the idea was working overtime until it would not go away and I knew I had to make a decision. I then asked Sue if she was interested and she did not hesitate with her answer.
Once the decision was made I knew there had to be a reason to walk such a long distance. Sue and I had lost two brothers and two brother in laws to Cancer so the reason was there.
With the help of Cancer Queensland I set up a donation page with the promise to raise $5000 before we leave Australia. We are well on the way to reaching this amount.
