Focus Ireland is running a virtual fundraiser - Camino De Quarantine
Housing charity Focus Ireland is raising money for its services, by hosting a virtual walk, Camino De Quarantine. This involves walking within your own 5k, but mirroring your journey virtually along the 114 km walk of the French Way section of the Camino de Santiago.
Organisers decided to run this novel event after Focus Ireland was forced to cancel its Camino fundraising trip due to Covid 19 restrictions.
The charity is asking participants to set up a fundraising page by clicking here. You can then share your page with friends and family for support as you endeavour to walk 114km over five weeks!
As you log your distance, you will also receive updates about the towns you are approaching, walking notes, recipes for typical foods in the area, recommended books to read on the Camino, films, podcasts and playlists. The online fundraising page will give you Camino passport stamps.
Tricia Quinn, South East Development Officer with Focus Ireland, had more details for Andy and me on The Big Breakfast Blaa this morning, including how the monies raised will particularly benefit Focus' Waterford services.
