Clare Byrne

You're so welcome.

Oh, thank you so much for having me on.

Lovely to see you.

I feel like I spent the weekend with you because I was reading the book, My Greatest Race.

I could not put it down.

Is that the sort of feedback that you're getting now?

And you talk as well about sitting with her and going through the story, which I'm sure meant that you got to know each other so well over that time.

And, you know, when I was thinking about you coming in, I was thinking about the fact that it's been it's been quite a week for you because, you know, since the Irish Times piece came out, I know you've been speaking publicly in other interviews as well about your diagnosis.

But that's the first time that we really got the detail on it.

Yeah.

What's that been like for you?

Have you had all of those messages?

I'd say you have.

And of course it happens fast.

Life happens fast.

But it's just like you went from Paris and what happened there to this.

And it's all still so new almost.

I mean, you mentioned there we're processing it for the last year.

That's still really quick, you know?

And you need that moment.
