Story
My family and I are taking on the "walk of hope" on 25th of September. My parents will be taking on the stairway to heaven walk (no mean feat for 2 people of nearly 60). I personally am going to tackle the Mourne mountains 7-7s challenge for this amazing cause. This will be a massive hike over each of the 7 tallest mountains in the mournes, covering 18 miles (29km) and 8500 feet of ascent/descent. This will also involve the navigation between each peak and many hard miles through bogs, rough terrain, long grass and everything else the mournes have to offer. I have no doubt that this will be as hard or harder than the mourne wall challenge that I did back I'm June but if it helps make a difference then I will do every step with pleasure.
Please donate if you can and share to help me raise money to find a cure for this horrible disease. And please, if you feel up to it, feel free to join me on this amazing adventure/challenge. It will be tough but such an accomplishment WHEN we finish ⛰💪
The 7 mountains are as follows (in order of size).
Slieve Donard 860m
Slieve Commedagh 765m
Slieve Binnian 747m
Slieve Bearnagh 727m
Slieve Meelbeg 708m

Slieve Lamagan 704m
