Thanks to everyone who donated and showed their support. You’re probably sick of hearing it at this point but it really does mean the world to me. I’m so glad I was able to walk even though I was ill and with such good company too. I was dead after but it was so worth it. It was a pity that some of the people around us were so rude and inconsiderate but having my friends around me really kept me going. I will only focus on the positive experience from this walk and I won’t let the negative experiences discourage me from future walks but I think this will be the first and last time I walk in Phoenix Park. On a more positive note, the park itself was beautiful and it was amazing to see the number of people who turned up for the event. Some with beautiful banners for their loved ones and others dressed in bright clothing with fairy lights wrapped around them. One group brought red balloons to release at the end of the walk which was such a lovely idea and it was moving to watch 🎈 Well done to all the organisers, volunteers and participants! #dil2019 #thankyou #pietahouse #stayingpositive (at Baile Átha Cliath, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/aliialex/p/BxYRRCPldMw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19lxo4491u74z
