Day 17 - Calling it.

Youghal -> Dungarvan (36 km)

Tough news. I’m having to call the trip. I’ve been paddling with a hernia since the first week, and it’s gotten to where I can’t keep the pace I need to finish without worsening the injury.

Gutted (literally) but it’s the right call.

Gonna get patched up and get back to training soon.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure.

Thank you, Team Fox donors! 🦊

Thank you donors to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research

P.S. When I’m not having adventures, I’m helping other people write about theirs. If you or someone in your circle has an amazing story to tell, I'd love to hear it. I have some availability for new ghostwriting and editing projects.
