✨ One more sleep until our flagship event – The Donegal Camino! ✨

Who would have thought that when Peggy Stringer set out on her very first Donegal Camino walk a few years ago, it would grow into such a monumental event, with up to 700 walkers taking part over the week?

The funds raised are absolutely vital to our Donegal Cancer Support Centre in Letterkenny. Thanks to the Camino, we are able to provide all of our services completely free of charge to cancer patients and their families across Donegal.

While Peggy planned that first walk alone, she quickly rallied some wonderful friends to help carry it forward. Deirdre McGlone and Noel Cunningham—who need no introduction—answered the call and have been central to its success. Now joined by the powerhouse that is Noreen Darcy and our brilliant tech guru John McNamara, we truly have the A-Team in place (and let’s be honest… it’s very hard to say no to Peggy! 💚).

So many people give their time, sponsor, volunteer, and support this event—we are deeply grateful for every single contribution.

🌟 Best of luck to everyone taking part this week—walk proud, walk strong, and walk for our Cancer Care West Support Centre Donegal 🌟
