Week 4 and end of the month update

Wednesday 1st Oct
As I reflect on the week 4 and the last 2 days of September, I am deeply grateful to everyone for your generosity, support and kindness.

With your support the fundraiser goal was exceeded and stands at €329 EUR, well above the €250 EUR target.

The mileage goal was 30 miles for September, and the total distance I walked during the month is 165.16 km or 102.63 miles. Amazing how a small daily action adds up to something this big. 

This month we also finally received the date for my husband’s surgery - October 9th. As we prepare for this, we are grateful for your ongoing support and looking forward to a complete recovery. 

Thank you again to everyone! Together we can make this world cancer-free. Much love ❤️ 

Week 3 update - so grateful for support!

Monday 22nd Sep
I want to start off week 3 update by saying how much I appreciate all the support with messages and calls to our family, we do appreciate each and every one of you! We are currently awaiting surgery date for my husband and hopefully it won’t be much longer 🙏🏼

Week 3 walking distance is 35.53km (22.19 miles), and the cumulative September distance is 102.13km (63.46 miles) - more than double of 30-mile monthly goal. I can honestly say that fundraising challenge aside, walking has helped me to stay sane while our family is going through the rough time. 

The fundraiser has now reached €318 EUR out of €250 monthly target - THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who donated!! Every donation no matter the amount goes to this wonderful charity that helps patients and families affected by cancer. 

Thank you for your ongoing support! Much love ❤️ 

Week 2 update

Sunday 14th Sep
This week I’ve reached a 29.97 km (18.06 miles) milestone, bringing me to the cumulative of 66.56km (41.36 miles) across 2 weeks, surpassing the 30 mile monthly goal. 

Due to adverse weather and 2 hospital appointments with my husband in Dublin I haven’t been able to walk as much as during week 2. Hopefully the weather improves during week 3 so I can make up my mileage. And thanks to the generosity of my friends I have exceeded my €250 EUR fundraising goal, can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support!!! Any further donations no matter the amount will be greatly appreciated and will go to a great cause 🙏🏼

Kevin is getting ready for surgery in the next few weeks and we hope for a complete recovery for him afterwards, despite lengthy rehabilitation, but lung resection is our best option under the circumstances. Your support and prayers are more than welcome and much appreciated! 🙏🏼Much love ❤️

Progress update - week 1

Monday 8th Sep
During the first week of September I’ve been able to reach 37.49km goal walking (22.29 miles) or the 30 mile-goal. And thanks to the generosity of my wonderful friends I am only €17 EUR shy of reaching the fundraising goal for this fantastic charity. I am exceedingly grateful for everyone’s support and kindness poured out towards my husband and my family as we navigate this challenging time. Thank you again for your support! Much love ❤️ 

For a cancer-free world

Sunday 31st Aug
My husband has been diagnosed with a lung cancer last week. The scariest two words on a medical certificate that have been etched into my brain. And while his prognosis is good because of early intervention, many other people are not as fortunate, and so my goal is to raise funds for this wonderful charity. Let’s work together to help advance early detection, improve availability of treatment options and support for all cancers patients so that we can live in a cancer-free world some day soon. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
