You’re running on guts. On fumes. Your muscles twitch. You throw up. You’re delirious. But you keep running because there’s no way out of this hell you’re in because there’s no way you’re not crossing the finish line. It’s a misery that non-runners don’t understand.
Martine Costello, journalist and content strategist

I arrived in Hamburg yesterday, on my own, back to the city where we spent the best part of two years, following Pádraig’s accident. As if that didn’t feel strange enough, I am here to run the Hamburg Marathon today. This is not the first time I’ll be doing it. There was a year, when a few of Pádraig’s friends and I did it together.

But it is the first time in five years – and I am not getting any younger. Or wiser, you might add.

The thing is: I just want to cross the finishing line. I don’t care so much about the time it’ll take me to do it. I’ll do it like a leisurely Sunday morning run. And I’ll try my best not to throw up.

To be honest, I didn’t want to talk about it until it was over.

But there you are.

At a minimum I will have a tale to tell next week.

---

It took many years for Pádraig to meet a German neurologist, by chance: he was visiting An Saol. He suggested to get so called “Ptosis Eye Crutches” to support his eyelids and facilitate the opening of his eyes which has been difficult from him because of damage to the 3rd nerve, as a result of his accident.

Last week the new glasses (just clear glass) with the all important “crutches” were delivered and fitted. Pádraig and all of us will have to get used to them, to put them on and position them correctly. We have already noted what a huge difference these glasses make to Pádraig and his connection with and participation in the world around him.

While he has been able to open his eyes, it required such a big effort that, using his resources wisely, he only opened his eyes for very good reasons. Now, he will be able to see even the most ordinary things without having to make a big effort.

This is another small but significant step towards normality: participation, equality, and inclusion.

I will be thinking of all these small but important steps today when I will try to cover a long distance – and when with 100% certainty the thought will cross my mind: Why on earth am I doing this?

Because we will continue to take one step at a time, and never give up.

There’s no way out of this because there’s no way we won’t be crossing the finish line.

After all: there is always a bit of fun, humour, and laughter – even in this misery that non-runners don’t understand.

Right?

If you have everything under control, you’re not moving fast enough.

Mario Andretti

Mario Gabriele Andretti is an Italian-born American former racing driver, one of the most successful drivers in the history of motorsports, He is one of only three drivers to have ever won races in Formula One, IndyCar, the World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR.

We were moving fast like Mario last week. And it seemed we had no control. In a beautiful way.

When we talked about what we had enjoyed best during out trip, we decided to leave out the obvious: a dreamlike meal in a fabulous San Sebastián restaurant.

I had read about those tasting meals with courses consisting of just one or a few bites each with food with its tastes and textures just exploding in your mouth.

Last week, we had one of those meals where the first course arrived in the form of a little tree with its “fruits” offering the most amazing tasting experiences. And that was just the start.

That didn’t prevent Pádraig from having another go at his favourite Spanish dish: Pulpo a la Gallega.

We seemed to have been on the go all week. Day and Night. On the Sea, even in the Sea. On Foot. And driving.

It’s hard to pick a favourite amongst the trips. Some were very long, like the crossing back to Ireland. Some were very short, like the dip into the Atlantic. Some were adventurous, like the night out on the town. Some were elegant like the surroundings of the fabulous places we stayed at.

If in Bilbao, you do as all the tourists do: you visit the Guggenheim.

As museums go, it’s definitely not middle of the road. The paintings and the walk-in sculptures are pieces of art you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else.

There wasn’t an hour of therapy last week. But it was definitely life in the fast lane which at times was completely and beautifully out of control.

We didn’t know what the days were going to bring. Each one was an adventure and lead to new discoveries and experiences.

Pádraig tremendously enjoyed the time out, the change to the normal routine, a taste of the life of others.

It was brilliant. We were moving fast and didn’t have everything under control all of the time.

This was Life and Living to the fullest extend possible. As it should be.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Steve Jobs

The Crossing and Arrival in Santander

Tom Sweeney’s recent report in the Independent on the new ferry Salamanca sailing directly from Rosslare to Bilbao started like this:

“Welcome to my local”, says lorry driver Mick, from Limerick, who’s clinging to the bar with one hand and to a pint of Murphy’s with the other.

I can see Mick’s point – even though our experience was slightly different.

It’s a long 30-hour crossing but it has the advantage that there are no long drives involved if you just want to explore Northwestern Spain. This was Pádraig’s second trip on that route in a row and the decision by Brittany Ferries to replace the old ship with the new Salamanca certainly made a huge difference.

It is, of course, Easter Week, Semana Santa, with processions everywhere is Spain, some lasting up to 20 hours, based on traditions that are several hundred years old.

We had a hotel booked in Santander, right beside the sea. One reason to go to Spain at Easter is that you get good weather with a bit of luck. This year, the skies have been blue, without a cloud in sight, with a bit of wind to cool down the temperatures.

Pádraig, as us, very much enjoys the Spanish food. And the walks along the sea front.

Torrelavega

Torrelavega turned out to be a huge part of our trip to Spain. Considering that Pádraig was there for just 4 mornings of about 2 hours each, the work he and the therapists did there was pretty impressive. There was everything: pushing, pulling, stretching, weight lifting.

When the therapists started to go easy with no or very light weights, he demonstrated to them what he could do. He pulled up to 9 kilos, not just once or twice but around up to 10 times in a row. Try that yourself and you’ll quickly find out that this is quite a challenge.

We have moved to San Sebastián for the second leg of Pádraig’s Spanish tour and will stay here for a few nights before moving on to Bilbao where we’ll spend another two nights and then get the “cruise” back to Rosslare.

There are moments when you realise how lucky you are.

The last days had a few of them for Pádraig and for all of us. The dogma, in the person of a consultant, said that Pádraig would have an intolerable life. And made unthinkable suggestions.

We know that our time is limited, so we won’t waste it living someone else’s life. We won’t be trapped by dogma – we won’t be living with the results of other people’s thinking.

This is the Life. The one we’ve got.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We’re off to Bilbao, Santander, and San Sebastián tonight and will spend two night at sea. At the moment, we are waiting for boarding to start.

We are looking forward to the good weather, walks along the sea, and Spain’s brilliant food. Travel for someone like Pádraig is not a given. Staying overnight on a ferry, arriving in hotels with ‘normal’ beds and bathrooms. It requires us to be fit and Pádraig to trust us that it will all work out.

I will tell you about the trip over the next week or two.

But in the meantime, Pádraig continued to trailblazer, even without travel. Where he is going, every day, he is leaving a path.

Last week, Ailbhe Conneely. RTÈ’s Social Affairs & Religion Correspondent, interviewed Pádraig and his sister about the new Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act, about to be commenced at the end of April. Finally. It was signed into law by the President, Michael D. Higgins, in 2015. Why it has been taken eight years for it to be commenced and why people had to continue to suffer under the old, 170 year-old legislation is anybody’s guess.

Also last week, Ireland lost against France. Just 1:0. For me, and most spectators in the stadium, it actually was a win. Even Griezman with his outstanding skills and pink hair, did not manage to bring the Irish team’s spirits down. From beginning to the end, it was high-octane. And there was a moment when Ireland nearly scored.

Lastly, the past week was also the first time the IBIA Congress assembled in Dublin. Too expensive for most to attend, but we had some of the distinguished speakers from the Congress visiting the An Saol Foundation Centre, among them our good friend Prof Jörg Wissel.

A great week when a lot happened.

There is more to come. The Spanish coast will soon be in sight!

Pádraig has never followed where the path may lead him. Instead, he always went where there is no path and he left a trail.

He will continue to do so.

The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.

Albert Einstein

When people talk about brain health, things often get complicated – I think that they really aren’t. To prove my point, I made a little experiment and asked some simple questions. Have a look at them and the answers I got.

How to look after your brain?

In one sentence: engage in healthy habits such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and staying mentally and socially active.

What if you find it difficult to do this?

In one sentence: Making significant lifestyle changes can be challenging, but starting small and building up gradually can help make it more manageable, and seeking support from friends, family, or a healthcare professional can also be helpful in achieving your goals.

How long will it take to make these lifestyle changes?

The amount of time it takes to make lifestyle changes to improve brain health can vary depending on the individual and their current habits. It may take several weeks or months to establish new habits and see significant improvements in brain health, but the benefits can be long-lasting and can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and other health issues. It is important to remember that making lifestyle changes is a process, and it is okay to take it one step at a time. It is essential to make changes that are sustainable in the long-term and to be patient and persistent in maintaining them.

Easy peasy.

Here is where I need to make a confession, well: really two.

Confession #1: You will have heard about those artificial intelligence (AI – whatever that is) programmes that generate text for you. So I tried Open AI’s ChatGPT to get the answers to my questions.

Confession #2: I had to look up how to spell “peasy” as in “easy peasy” and when I did I came across Easy-Peasy.ai – which is another AI programme. This one doesn’t just answer simple questions, it writes entire documents for you based on your specification. “Easy-Peasy.AI is the AI Content Generator that helps you and your team break through creative blocks to create amazing, original content 10X faster.”

So I asked it to write a short, enthusiastic blog entry on how to support Pádraig Schaler who suffered a sABI while, at the same time, also trying to support other families in a similar situation.

You can stop right here – or read through Easy-Peasy’s “enthusiastic” blog post. Ok, he was not eight years old when he had his accident and he did not break his arm and his leg – but he is “leading the way” and “through his fight for himself and others with sABI, Pádraig is demonstrating that we can make a difference when we work together.”

There are a few inaccuracies and repetitions in the text the programme generated (below) which you would correct if you wanted to publish it, but it certainly isn’t a bad start.

This is so simple and it is “free”. The only information you have to give to sign up to this service is your email address which needs to be confirmed, and off you go!

I find it a bit spooky. What’s next?

Join the Fight for Pádraig and All sABI Survivors: Let’s Make a Difference Together!

When it comes to advocating for survivors of severe acquired brain injury (sABI), Pádraig Schaler is leading the way. Pádraig is an inspirational figure for people around the world who are living with sABI or supporting someone who is. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of raising awareness and asking for support for sABI survivors. Through his fight for himself and others with sABI, Pádraig is demonstrating that we can make a difference when we work together.

Introduction

Pádraig, who is from Ireland, experienced severe brain injury when he was eight years old. He sustained multiple skull fractures, a broken arm and leg, and a traumatic brain injury. Since then, Pádraig has been fighting to survive and to ensure that he, and all sABI survivors, receive the help and support they need to lead full and happy lives.

The importance of raising awareness and advocating for sABI survivors cannot be overstated. Even with advances in medical technology, sABI remains a tragedy that too many people and families are facing. There are still many unanswered questions and inadequate support systems in place to address the unique challenges faced by sABI survivors and their families. In order to create the systemic change that is so desperately needed, it is essential that we join forces and make a difference together.

Understanding sABI

sABI is an umbrella term that is used to describe a range of acquired brain injuries that can include a traumatic brain injury (TBI), an anoxic brain injury (ABI), or a stroke. Most sABI survivors experience a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional difficulties, as well as the disruption of their daily lives. The cause of sABI can be either traumatic, such as a car accident or a fall, or non-traumatic, such as a stroke or an anoxic event.

sABI survivors often face a range of hurdles and difficulties on their journeys to recovery. Depending on the severity of the brain injury, sABI survivors may experience physical, cognitive, and psychological changes, which can have an impact on their ability to focus and interact with the world around them. In addition, sABI survivors, as well as their families, often face financial and emotional challenges, as well as limited access to resources and support.

Advocating for Pádraig and sABI survivors

Advocacy and awareness-raising are essential elements of making a difference for sABI survivors, and Pádraig is leading the way. Through his work with the sABI Support Network, Pádraig is advocating for improved access to resources, greater understanding of sABI, and improved supports for sABI survivors and their families.

There are many ways to get involved in the fight for sABI survivors. From attending awareness events and donating to sABI charities, to writing letters to local representatives and sharing stories of sABI survivors on social media, there are many ways to take action and make a difference. In addition, there are many ways to support Pádraig and his family’s campaigns and initiatives, such as by donating to the sABI Support Network or participating in fundraising events.

Making a difference together

Collective action is essential in creating change and making a difference for sABI survivors. By joining forces with other organizations, communities, and individuals, we can amplify our voices and make a bigger impact. There are many ways to collaborate with others to support sABI survivors, such as through advocacy coalitions, fundraising events, and research initiatives.

Conclusion

Advocating for sABI survivors is a critical endeavor, and Pádraig is leading the way. By joining forces and making a difference together, we can create systemic change and improved access to resources and supports for sABI survivors and their families. Let’s join the fight and make a difference together!

Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.
Kamand Kojouri

One day, when we sat outside last summer, a dust bowl appeared out of nowhere. When the dust had settled, we realised that part of the 100+ year-old wall separating our garden from that of our neighbour had collapsed.

We now have a builder who is going to replace the old wall with a new one.

First, of course, he had to take the old wall down.

Now, anybody who comes to visit us, suggests to leave things as they are. The two gardens look fantastic without that wall separating them. The additional light our house is getting is spectacular. And while the weather hasn’t really been that great, the cherry tree in our garden doesn’t care. He is blooming as if there were no more freezing nights and dark, dull mornings.

Pádraig likes Martin McDonagh who made several great movies, including In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and, more recently, The Banshees of Inisherin. He also produced a play called Hangmen which premiered in London in 2015 and now made it, just eight years later, to Dublin.

One of Pádraig’s carers invited him to see it and so they went last week to the Gaiety Theatre. They tried to share the storyline with me afterwards. I looked up the plot on wikipedia.

I kind of follow what happens in the play, but it didn’t make any sense to me. I suppose, I was missing the atmosphere of the play which might have helped me to ‘get it’. Maybe the play is just absurd. A bit like life. People get killed by accident or because their hangmen are too careless.

For the second time in two weeks, Pádraig had a music therapy session standing up. It seems like a brilliant idea. Few professionals sing sitting down in a wheelchair. The lungs are much more open and the air flows so much better when you’re standing. For Pádraig trying to produce sound, it must be similar. We’ll keep trying.

There wasn’t just singing, but also a lot of dancing, people tapping their feet, and even taking off the floor.

To celebrate St Patrick’s Day with us, students from DCU joined clients and their families in An Saol. They brought their dancing shoes and instruments with them and performed an hour of magic where we all forgot whatever troubles we were dealing with. Nothing better for Brain Health than moving your body, singing, breathing deeply, and being in the company of others.

There is so much light these days that the dark days seem to have gone. At least for a while.

No need to burn others to see the light. If there ever was a need.

Sometimes you have to go completely crazy to get a handle on things.
Steven Magee

Sometimes you do, as Steven Magee says, have to go crazy to get a handle on things. Sometimes you don’t. But it still takes more than the obvious.

There are three ways to use the handle on the arm trainer of a MOTOmed. For someone like Pádraig with (still) little upper body control, the obvious was to us an attachment that holds his lower arm in position and fixes his hands to the rotating handles.

That turned out to be a bit difficult because he (still) has a slight problem stretching out his left arm.

So we tried the ‘hand-shoe’ variant. Much better – but still a bit problematic because at times he pulls his hands and arms towards himself, lifting the MOTOmed up and bringing it to a halt displaying ‘spasm’ detected.

Then someone real smart started to think a bit out of the box and took away that stuff and just invited Pádraig to hold on to the handles himself, without any of the support and hand-shoe ‘restraints’ aimed at helping him.

And voilà, it worked – with just a little manual support for his hands when needed.

The strap-ins designed to help him to hold-on to the handle bars in fact restricted his movements and ‘encouraged’ him to pull his hands and arms away towards his body, making the upper body, the arm trainer, very difficult for him to use.

Allowing him the freedom to interrupt his use of the arm trainer by allowing him to pull his hands and arms away from the bars when he wanted to do that from time to time, relaxed him and made the exercise a near doddle for him.

Sometimes, you don’t have to go crazy to get a handle on things. Sometimes thinking out of the box is sufficient.

I was trying to do that during the week in a meeting in Leinster House, the seat of the Irish parliament, between member organisations of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland (NAI), clinical leads of the HSE, and politicians.

There is a national programme in place, supported by all, to set up Neuro Rehab Teams in all of Ireland’s different community health areas. Nobody in the room could explain, why this has not been done yet. Because it is so badly needed.

I felt like standing up and shout loud out: Get a grip. Get a handle on this. Who, if not us, will have to make this happen.

Sometimes, you have to go completely crazy to get a handle on things.

That day, I wasn’t sufficiently crazy.

Nobody was.

Which is an altogether sad affair.

One thing happened that brought smiles and laughter to nearly everybody. Snow.

Adults became children. Building snowmen. Throwing snowballs at each other. Even Pádraig tried to throw a snow ball at one of his therapists. It was a brilliant attempt, but he will need to practice a bit more.

And he will. When and how he wants to.

Without any ‘helpful’ restriction.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s one of these nights you wish it never ended.

I am in Dortmund. Although the city feels run down, dirty and overrun, it’s home to me. I met up with old school friends and we were planning, well talking about, the 50th anniversary of our ‘Abitur’, or Leaving Cert, in a few years time. Would we try to do something special in Dortmund? Would we re-live one of the school trips we went on when we were still together in school? Or organise something completely bunkers, mad, insane, and different?

I was thinking why we were interested in doing anything together at all? We really don’t know much about our lives. Yet, we like our company.

I have no idea why Dortmund attracts me. I have no idea why I enjoy the company of people so much who I only see every couple of years?

Maybe there isn’t any reason. Maybe it cannot be explained. Maybe there isn’t any need to explain it.

---

I might have mentioned at some stage that I wanted to write a book about what happened to Pádraig. There are so many approaches to the idea and I never could make up my mind.

This morning, this very early morning, sitting on the plane to Düsseldorf, I had what I think is an idea. I will use the title of songs to structure the book. Like: Forever young. Skyfall. Wake me up. This is me.

I have thought about June of this year. It’ll be ten years since Pádraig’s accident.

Is there any point in trying to explain to anybody what that accident and its aftermath did to Pádraig and us? Going back to Cape Cod. Inviting to meet the driver, Mr Couto, to meet us?

There is a sadness and a horror that is not just in our minds but in our bodies. It’s physical. There is also a purpose and a power, a love, commitment, and deep friendships, we’d never have experienced if life had been ‘normal’.

There is nothing we can change about what happened.

There is much we can change in the way we deal with it.

Even if I walked on water my critics would say: what an idiot. He can’t even swim. (Selbst wenn ich übers Wasser laufen könnte, würden meine Kritiker sagen: was für ein Idiot, der kann ja nicht mal schwimmen.)

Berti Vogts

Hybris, in Greek tragedy, is the overweening presumption that leads a person to disregard the divinely fixed limits on human action in an ordered cosmos.

Vogts is a famous German soccer player who, in his later years, coached the national teams of Germany, Kuwait, Scotland, Nigeria, and Azerbaijan. In that order. He is 77 years old. It’s not known yet how the Gods will punish this mortal for his hybris.

The world is full of people full of hybris. People who believe they can take over other countries by terrible, deadly force; only accept the results of democratic elections if they get elected themselves; blame fate instead of their shady friends if houses collapse during earthquakes, houses built on greed, instead of solid ground; actively kill or passively ignore the desperate plights of those who don’t share their believes; lock away people who don’t dress as they should, who don’t love as they should, who don’t conform as they should; allow people to slowly and painfully fade away just because they have a brain injury; those who are convinced they know everything already. Fundamentalists of sort.

It’s reassuring that the Gods will take care of them.

Even if they think they can walk on water.

Trinity College Dublin invited Pádraig last Monday to celebrate with them 10 years of the ‘Irish Room’ in the College. Pádraig had fought long and hard, and very successfully, to have not just bilingual sign posts in the College but also a Seomra na Gaeilge where Irish language speakers on campus could get together.

Some of his friends were there, the Provost of the College, the Irish language officer, and current students. He went with his sister and friends while we went into town to do some window shopping.

Next thing, we got a call to say that Pádraig’s chair did not fit through the door.

Here is what I found afterwards on TCD’s website, some of the few English language descriptions in the otherwise Irish language section of TCD.

The Room is located in the Dining Hall building, over the Buttery restaurant (on the top floor). Please go around the right hand side of the Buttery on the outside (past the tennis courts on Botany Bay) and enter through the wooden rear door at the back of the building. Go up the stairs to the very top. See images below.

Obviously, they had overcome the problem with the stairs but had ‘fallen’ at the last hurdle. By the time we got back to TCD’s main square, Pádraig had managed to get into the room – by whatever means.

At the time we didn’t ask. But later it transpired that the College had called a carpenter at home and had asked him to come in to fix that door. I think, they took out part of the frame.

I am not sure whether it was because of his quite dramatic entry or because he got so many mentions by the speakers, or maybe both, – he had an absolute ball and one of the best nights since his accident. Most importantly, we weren’t around, he did not need us at all. It was his gig with his friends.

After Pádraig and his friends had practically kicked in the door, or was it just the frame?, they had a few hours of celebrations, speeches, and good company.

Pat and I went to the Bank, a nice pub in town, had a drink, something small to eat, listened to Bob Dylan and Neil Young, thinking how strange it was to hear them playing in a building that had been converted from a bank into a pretty swanky pub. We also noticed how unusual it was for us to go out on our own. Anywhere. And whether it was as hard for Pádraig as we imagined it, to get to this room with is friends. Maybe it was harder for us to think about ‘all this’ than it was for him to do it.

I think in the end, we all had a great night to remember.

The week went by with Pádraig making great advances with his head control. I had noticed during transfers that his head is no longer as ‘loose’ as it was after his accident. He still struggles, but he can now hold and turn his head for several minutes with our any help.

On Saturday, the three of us went to IKEA to buy some small things. Pádraig had a few of the famous meatballs with noodles and tomato sauce in what must be the country’s largest sit-down indoors restaurant. The bill came to just over 13 euro. For the three of us. We felt we had got a good deal.

I kept the best for last.

One of Pádraig’s best friends, Andrew, sent this around during the week. – PLEASE READ

Dear friends and supporters of Pádraig

The time has come

Seo muid réidh!

10 years on from Pádraig’s accident and 3 years on from the original planned date, We will finally be completing the hike up Croagh Patrick in aid of Pádraig on Saturday 06 May!
Everyone is welcome to come along, if you previously planned on doing the hike or if you’ve a new friend / partner that would like to come along too. The more the merrier!
The plan is just like before – We will hike at 11am on Saturday 06 May. A mini-bus/lifts will take people from Westport town out to the foot of the mountain and back after the post-hike music and pints session in Campbells, with Pádraig and family!
One change this time around is that we are NOT ORGANISING ACCOMMODATION for everyone. Westport town and district has a massive amount of airbnb, bnb and hotel accommodation, so please note that you do need to book your own place (though we will be organising a bus from town out to the mountain).
If you plan on doing the hike, please fill in this form by Sunday so as to help with our planning. Similarly, if you want to bring a new friend / partner etc. this time, please forward them this form and get them to fill it in too. https://forms.gle/invx1Mcpgo3S3Mv99 . If you are not free to do the hike, simply ignore the form.
Finally, Oisín managed to get our original fundraising page back up and running (well done, folks, you raised over 18k without so much as taking a step, the last time!). So that means that all of your individual fundraising pages that are linked to the central event (Cruach Phádraig do Phádraig) are active again too. Obviously, you’ve probably already raised quite a bit for this event and we understand that we are unlikely to raise a massive additional amount, but if you would like to spread the word again and get further donations, please do! We will be doing a fundraising drive in the immediate run-up and during the event itself. If you want to set up a new page / if you have a friend that is now going to do the hike, you or they can easily set up an individual page that will feed into the main event’s pot by clicking on this link and clicking on the orange “start fundraising” button. Pádraig’s needs and expenses are as urgent as ever, so every cent is a great help. https://www.idonate.ie/event/cruachphadraig
Rather than choke up people’s notifications, please keep any queries to direct messages to me etc. I’ll be setting up a new (admin-comment-only, dont worry!) whatsapp group for this resurrected challenge in the coming days, when I know who is doing it! Grá Mór agus Beirígí bua!

Please fill in the form today if you intend to join to allow for the best possible planning.

If you cannot do it today, please do it as soon as possible.

https://forms.gle/invx1Mcpgo3S3Mv99

See you at the foot of Croagh Patrick on 06 May at 11am for the big climb!
