DOWN SYNDROME CORK

The last charity to hit the Camino trail in 2020 will be Down Syndrome Cork, another of our new collaborators. This wonderful organisation dedicated to providing key support services in the Cork area have lad down the challenge to walk the Original Portuguese Camino, from Valenca do Minho to Santiago de Compostela. We are proud to be involved in such a worthy event and we’re looking forward to getting to know everyone as we walk the Camino together.
