Next Sunday I'm going to attempt the Beara Trail in Cork, which is 126 miles over 5 to 6 days.

I am doing this with the hope of raising much needed charity funds for the Yemen crisis, where in the region of 13 million are at risk of starvation as a result of a three year civil war that has gripped the country. The worst famine in 100 years.

There's no pressure on anyone to donate. But I do urge you to reflect on the seriousness of this situation and how your humanity and kindness can help reduce it's severity. I would really appreciate if you could give this some consideration, as we really don't know how good our lives really are.
