My target 300000 Steps

I’m taking on the 12,000 Steps a Day Challenge in March to support cancer patients and their families across Ireland.

You can show your support too, by making a donation to my page today, you will be helping to fund the Irish Cancer Society's Support Line, free counseling, lifts to treatment, ground-breaking cancer research, funding to families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis and so much more.  After my recent diagnosis, I understand how important these vital services are in helping us get back to ourselves.  I also set up a recurring donation to CANCER CARE WEST, which provided me with accommodation and kindness throughout! You might see me fundraising for their great work next (:

Every donation will also help fuel my motivation as I lace up my runners to take on the 12,000 Steps a Day Challenge... which really will be a challenge for me as I have done so little recently. 

Together, we can ensure that no one has to go through cancer alone. Thank you!

Thanks to your support, my Daffodil Day fundraising could provide:

Still at it!

Monday 24th Mar
I may not meet even my revised goal of 300,000 steps, BUT I am proud of myself for getting back out there less than a month after finishing my treatment... my stamina and mood have improved.

The sun is shining

Thursday 13th Mar

More tiring than I expected!

Friday 7th Mar
This first week has been a reality check for me.  I am not back to my previous fitness or energy levels just yet!  I found walking the 12,000 steps to be a lot!  During the week, I have taught 14-hours of physical classes as well, and I feel beat.  I have had to re-assess, and am now aiming for 10,000 a day, which I DID achieve 5 of the days.  As I am only a few weeks past radiotherapy, I have to be realistic and kind to myself.  I am sure you understand.

Thank you to my Sponsors
