Victoria Dunlea fundraising for Cliona's Foundation with Colaiste an Chraobhinn

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria Dunlea, and I am a Transition Year student in Coláiste an Chraoibhín, in Fermoy, Co. Cork. I am heading to Spain in June 2026 for five days to walk the Camino de Santiago! Over 200 of us Transition Year students from all over Ireland will be walking over 100 km from Portomarin to Santiago. We each need to raise at least €1,000, which goes straight to Cliona's Foundation, and we are covering all our travel costs ourselves. I am super excited to be taking on this challenge to raise money for Cliona's Foundation. For those who don’t know, Cliona's Foundation is an amazing charity that provides financial assistance to families of children with life-limiting illnesses. Walking the Camino is a big challenge, but knowing it is for such a great cause makes it all worthwhile. Every step I take will be a step towards helping these families, and I would be so grateful for any support you can offer. Whether it is a small donation or just sharing this page, every bit helps. Thank you for being such a big part of my journey!
