Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  As this is my 50th year I have decided to do a challenge as my way of giving back for my 50 years of good health!  I plan to walk the Virtual Ring of Kerry!  The full length of the journey is 200km  which I will be doing over a few weeks.  Each part of the journey is tracked on my phone, so there is no cheating and the company I have registered with will be sending postcards of the landmarks I would see as I reach those goals.  Realistically it's probably 20km a week for 10 weeks should everything go to plan.
Steve on the other hand is running Great North Run on the 12th September 2021 up in Newcastle, it is the first (real) half marathon he has taken part in but I'm sure he'll smash it.
Catholic Care are a fantastic organisation who support many vulnerable people without question.  Our Older Peoples Groups meet every week and are a lifeline for those who come to the groups.  If you feel you can support this fine organisation by sponsoring us, please do.  Thank you in anticipation of your support
