CEO and Founder, Fiona Devine to take on Camino de Santiago trek, with son Harry and 10 others

This September, Alexander Devine’s CEO and founder, Fiona Devine MBE, will be lacing up her walking boots for one of the most meaningful and demanding fundraising challenges of her life – an epic six-day 100km trek along the iconic Camino de Santiago in memory of her beloved son, Alexander.

From 14th to 21st September, Fiona will walk the ancient pilgrim route through Portugal and Northern Spain, accompanied by a dedicated team of supporters including her 21-year-old son, Harry. Together, they will take on the journey to raise vital funds and awareness for the charity that bears Alexander’s name.

Fiona shares what the challenge means to her:

“My main motivation to walk is for my son Alexander. I am walking in his memory, and I am so grateful to the team of supporters that are joining me on this extraordinary challenge and walking this pilgrim route with over a thousand years of history. This will not only be a physical test but a mental, and emotional one too.”
