If the Camino de Santiago been on your bucket list for too long, maybe this is the ideal opportunity for you to take the proverbial bull by the horns and raise funds for Southern Area Hospice while you are at it!
After a successful trip in 2015, with fantastic feedback, the Hospice will be returning with a group to complete a leg of this famous trail from 30th April – 7th May and there are still a limited number of places available.
Described by last year’s Hospice group as “enlightening, life-changing, humbling and unique” the Camino is a once in a lifetime experience walked by thousands of people each year for many different reasons. Taking place from on the first week of May, the Hospice walk will cover the final leg of the French Way covering 115km in 6 days starting in Sarria and finishing in the spectacular destination of Santiago de Compostela.
Community Fundraising Officer for the Southern Area Hospice Leanne Redmond said, “We are delighted to be launching the Camino de Santiago again this year, the feedback we have received from the 2015 group has been great. Not only was it a life-changing experience which the group will never forget but it raised over £80,000 for the Hospice which is just fantastic.”
One of the 2015 participants, Roisin McGivern has this to say, “Walking the Camino is one of those experiences that will make you smile inside and out every time you think about it in the future. The experience will never leave me.”
Whether you have thought about completing the walk in memory of someone special or you simply want to meet new people and have a new experience, the Camino has something for all ages and abilities.
