Yeah, to aim for, to reach for.
But when I got out, I didn't.
And that's why I ended up in that ward.
So when I discovered this, I said, when am I going to be the happiest?
What's going to make me happy?
And I went back to a part of my life when I was like maybe 17 to 21, 22.
I was so happy.
Why was I so happy?
it wasn't just around the sport it was just I had time for people and I had time to develop relationships and have fun and enjoy life I said that's where I need to replicate again that's where I need to be I don't want to be back to the ratty Fergus that I was when I was building a business because I didn't have time for people so I made a plan I did that and one of the plans was to create a challenge and that challenge was to walk across the country one year after my accident 206 kilometres and at that stage I could only walk about 300 metres so I set a mammoth challenge laughing
Yeah, well, I told the NRH because I was fundraising for the NRH and they brought me up and set me down in this room and I'll never forget it.
The consultant was there, Eimear, and physio and occupational therapy and they're all sitting around and they're saying, why are you doing this?
And I said, well, I want to raise money for the NRH and I need to do it for myself as well to help my progress because I was still only stumbling on my feet.
It wasn't like I was walking like I walked in here today.
And yeah, they were like going, don't do it.
Every time they were saying don't do it, I was going, I'm doing it.
You know, so even by the end of the meeting, they were like going, OK, best of luck.
So we did it from the 22nd of October and I walked in through the doors of Generation 36 of October, exactly one year after I entered it.
Oh, yeah, I was.
And this is the part I take from it.
It wasn't a physical thing that I enjoyed so much.
