10k a day for Ashling

Coming into the winter months this year I wanted to do something to keep both my mind and body occupied as the days start to become shorter.

I decided to challenge myself to doing 10k a day for the month of October which should work out at 310k altogether. I’ll be finishing the distance in Spain on the Camino de Santiago and I’ve decided to do this in honour of my friend Ashling Murphy.

There’s not a day where Ashling doesn’t cross my mind and I will keep her with me when I feel tired or unbothered to get out and move and remember how motivated and determined she was to have achieved all that she did in her short but wonderfully full life.

With that, I’ve set up a small fundraiser to be donated to the Ashling Murphy memorial trust at the end of October. Any money raised will keep Ashling’s legacy alive through the lives and achievements of other young people who share the same passions as Ashling had.

Any donation big or small will be greatly appreciated and any friends are welcome to join me over the month!
