And I really hoped that, you know, whenever I hung up my spikes, I could switch that.

And Tommy's wanting to, you know, run a marathon and race.

And I was like, great, I'll jump on the bike and I'll be now your training partner and I'll be the one that's helping you.

And then I get this blooming diagnosis and poor Tommy's the man that's holding a bucket and who's emptying it.

And, you know, there's nothing like a bowel cancer diagnosis to bring a whole new wave of experiences into your house.

Changes things, I can imagine.

Yes, the dynamic certainly switches up.

But I'm just so lucky that he's never even winced at any moment of this.

You were on six teams at one stage.

Ah look, like any little rural team.

And it was before probably the rules came in that the youngsters, I've been training with the seniors since...

Maybe under 12, under 14.

I was like, get me out to every training session going.

Absolutely loved the sport of camogie.

And it's something that, you know, like Tommy's like, you never stop talking.

You're doing athletics now.

But I was like, I feel that I owe it.

And it's something that I've had throughout my life and my career.

It's like, I like to thank the people and...

the things that made me the person I am.
