Our wonderful volunteer, Jenny O’Dea is embarking on an exciting adventure and will be trekking 100kms along the Camino Trail in Spain in May this year. Jenny is looking for sponsors who would like to support her trek and would like to encourage people to donate Ready Set by donating funds and sponsoring her trek. After finishing more than 50 years of continuous work in the health industry, Jenny began her volunteering with Ready Set as a means of supporting others to access the many benefits she gained from working, such as confidence, self-esteem, identity, lifelong social connections and friendship. She quickly realized the importance of giving to others and what Ready Set offers to those in need every day through the work of its volunteers and connections. Please support Jenny by donating to Ready Set. All funds raised are tax deductible and will assist Ready Set in continuing its great work with people facing challenges in gaining meaningful employment in our community.

Poignant message at the end of the walk! I still have all my clothes and my shoes in good order for walking a little in Portugal. Yes my body has been rested and refreshed I’ll be sad to leave Spain and the city but eager to leave the rain in Spain and ready for more adventures Please consider a donation to my worthy cause for ‘Ready Set’ if you have not already done so Cheers and my gratitude to you all from Jenny x

Despite the rainy weather, and the aching limbs, I walked into the Cathedral square yesterday afternoon, having completed my 114 km in 8 days. It was quite an emotional moment. Thanks to everyone who trusted in me, and who have supported my cause. Today in Santiago de Compostela, it’s a public holiday to celebrate Literature. Appropriate for me, and my campaign, as with literature comes learning, comes employment, comes self esteem and confidence. Please support Ready Set. Jenny

All going well and I’ve hit the half way mark It’s amazing how friendly people are, many join up for a chat as we walk along. So many stories of courage and endurance. The Spanish countryside is awash with Spring blossoms and wildflowers and I’ve enjoyed the hamlets we have walked by. Cows lazing about in green pastures, or in ancient stone barns being Mil milked. The farmers are friendly and give the pilgrims a wave as they walk by. Im having trouble uploading some photos. I’ll try again today Cheers and thanks for your support Jenny

Hola everybody. Day 3 today of this incredible walk. The Spanish countryside is so lush. Beautiful scenery and blue skies. No rain! Fruit trees in blossom, green pastures, cows lazing and chewing. Walking through hamlets with stone cottages and barns with cows being milked, avoiding tractors piled high with hay or a friendly horse coming to see if we have any food!
