There I was sitting on a deserted beach in the Western Highlands last summer when the Father of the child and the other Godfather came along and sat next to me. We lit a fire of driftwood to keep the midges at bay. A bottle of whisky was offered and I thought it rude to refuse.

The next thing I know I’ve signed up to walk the length of Ireland from Mizen to Malin, all 400miles of it, at some 30 miles per day! It seemed like a good idea at the time! Now in fairness I do like a challenge, and this will be a huge challenge both mentally and physically – the walk will be bad enough, but can you imagine what it will be like sharing a room with Kieran and Nicky for 13 nights!

To make it all worthwhile my chosen charity is the Association of Children’s Hospices, a worthwhile cause if ever there ever was one. Please dig deep so as my suffering may help some poor child whose problems (through no fault of their own) will make mine seem miniscule.

Thank you for your support!
