Isabel Aliaga-Kelly and Vanessa Scott-Hayward are heading off on the 1st May to walk the 788km of the Camino de Santiago trail in Spain in aid of the STUART MANGAN APPEAL. Our family friend, Stuart Mangan, in April 2008, due to a simple rugby tackle in London, was completely paralyzed from the neck down and is now unable to breathe without a ventilator. Stuart will require 24-hour medical care for the rest of his life. Please support us at www.mycharity.ie/event/walkforstuart
