When my wife | When my wife Cait O'Riordan announced her intention to walk 402 miles I was naturally curious as to who would instigate such an undertaking. That man was Ronnie Kearns who last year walked from Malin Head to Mizen Head. Ronnie had made the trip alone and the money he raised went to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland.

Having trained together since March and forsaking their summer holidays, the unlikely collection of civil servants, a bus driver, a garda, librarian, three nurses, a postman and a captain in the army, among others, were transformed into 'The Duke', 'Doris Day', 'Captain Nemo' and 'The Yeti', retracing the footsteps of their 'Fearless Leader'. | By the time I joined the walk in Tulsk, Co Roscommon, some 200 miles had been covered by the 19 new recruits.
