Today, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to someone truly special—our Irish mum and grandma, Anne Costello. 🌟

Your kindness, support, and love have meant the world to us. You’ve been there, keeping an eye on Goku, making sure he’s safe, and always offering your warmth and care. For me, you’ve been more than a friend—you’ve been family.

Your generosity and spirit inspire us every day. We love you, Anne! Thank you for being part of this journey, for believing in us, and for making our mission even more meaningful. 💕

Walk on Lough Derg

Day 2

🌿 Walking with Goku: Day 2 - 8.2 KM Along the Shannon River 🌊

Another step forward, another milestone reached! 8.2 KM along the Shannon River banks, with Goku leading the way—always pushing forward, always looking for the next challenge.

The breeze was strong, the water calm, and the rhythm of each step felt like training for something greater. The world moves fast, but today, we matched its pace—one stride at a time.

Tomorrow, we go even further. 💪👣☀️

This is the way...

The first 5KM

🌿 Walking with Goku: The First 5.22 KM Along the Shannon River 🌊

The journey begins. With each step along the banks of the mighty Shannon River, there’s a rhythm—like the pulse of an adventure waiting to unfold. The fresh breeze carries the scent of the water, and the quiet ripple of the current reminds me of the calm before a battle.

Goku would love this. Not just for the challenge of a long walk, but for the beauty hidden in the simple things. The old stone bridges, the whisper of reeds swaying in the wind, and the occasional splash of a fish breaking the surface—each moment feels like a step toward something greater.

At 5.22 KM, there’s a warmth in the journey—not from exertion, but from the realization that this path is more than just distance. It’s about moving forward, staying present, and embracing the energy around us.

Just like Goku, pushing beyond limits. One step at a time. @IrishHearFoundation

100km for Hearts: Goku and I are Back for Year 2!

Two paws, two feet, 100 kilometers – and a whole lot of heart. That's the challenge Goku and I are taking on again this year, as we embark on our second annual 100km walk for the Irish Heart Foundation.

Last year was an incredible journey, both physically and emotionally. There were blisters, sore muscles, and moments where we wondered if we could really keep going. But every step we took, every wag of Goku's tail, reminded us why we were doing it: for the hearts that can't.

This year, the challenge feels just as significant. Knowing what's ahead – the early starts, the unpredictable Irish weather, the sheer endurance required – only strengthens our resolve. Goku, bless his adventurous spirit, is ready to lead the way (or at least provide excellent moral support and sniff out all the interesting things along the route!).
