The route ends at the Rock of Cashel, above
On the 8th and 9th of January 2022, in aid of Breast Cancer Research Ireland, we are walking the Tipperary Heritage Way.
This is a 56km route starting at the Vee and finishing at the Rock of Cashel. All of us have been impacted by cancer either directly or indirectly at some stage of our lives and while many of us have lost very special people to cancer, we also have many wonderful people in our lives who have overcome it.
We want this walk to honour each and every one of those journeys. All money raised will go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Institute in Galway with the hope that their hard work will continue to save more lives.
On a personal level, we are doing this walk to mark our beautiful friend Rachel Kenneally's 30th birthday. Rachel was extremely generous and very passionate about cancer awareness and research (among many other things) and I hope that we can create something special to mark such an occasion.
Deepest gratitude for your support in advance and no donation is too small. Together we can do big things. Grá Mór
