A Country Antrim man has completed a 66-day hike from Kinsale, Cork, to Carrick to honour his brother who passed away in August 2023.
It is for this reason that the schoolteacher decided to be loyal to him one year on from his brother's death and keep his memory alive, while raising money for the disease which left his marathon-running, camping-loving, ex-soldier brother bedridden.From here, he would walk 2,500 winding kilometers of the Wild Atlantic Way and the rugged North Coast, raising thousands of pounds and euros for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the process.
"Dad has been there from day one, we've had mum down, we've had cousins down, my friends, Josh's friends, it's been a real team effort."The t-shirt he was wearing inspired conversations, and kind souls took him in to give him a bed, a sofa, plenty of meals and even cash donations. "There were blisters, there was tendonitis, but I just feel that I'm so fortunate to be able to do it.
"There've been emotional days that have been very tough but I know that Josh has been with me and he's very proud of me."
