COMMUNITY NOTES: SWINFORD - WESTERN PEOPLE (SEPTEMBER 10 EDITION)

Cathal Kelly is now into the 13th week of his epic 2,200km-walk from Canterbury, England, to Rome, Italy, in aid of Mayo Parkinson’s Association and Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin.

With just over 650km left to walk to St Peter’s Square in the Vatican, Cathal is soon entering the last four weeks of this incredible journey having so far walked over 1,550km.

Cathal could not have reached this far without all the incredible support he is receiving on a daily basis from Swinford people at home and all around the world.

He is nearly at the incredible figure of €30,000 with donations coming in every day.
