This is Mille Walsh the manager of the Maxol Garage in Mullingar. We met him on the 32-32-32 penalty kick challenge tour of Ireland which finished today back in Tyrone after five days. Millie is a legend and has worked in this garage for over 30 years.

This is Ger a man we met on College Green in Dublin while on the 32-32-32 penalty kick Challenge in aid of the Simon Communities of Ireland who help people like Ger.

This is the members of the 32-32-32 penalty kick challenge in Monaleen GFC in Limerick. We did seven counties in one day and slept rough in a band stand in Dungarvan.

Day one of the 32-32-32 challenge. These are members of the 32-32-32 team pushing our mini bus. After some minor repair we made it to Galway on the first evening of our trip.

This is a Bedford Van originally owned by Hugh Gormley from Monaghan. I spotted it at a vintage car rally recently. It brought back many memories as my father had a very similar van back in the 1960’s

Tomorrow morning a group of eight GAA club members from Tyrone head out on an Odyssey that will take us to every county  in Ireland. It’s a fund raising effort in aid of the Simon Communities of Ireland who work on behalf of the homeless. Those who because of circumstances beyond their control find themselves either living rough or in emergency accommodation. We will be taking a penalty at every pitch we visit and we are asking all the GAA clubs in the country to donate just €32/£32 to Simon. We are also asking people to donate what ever they can either via our website www.32-32-32.com or by sending the money direct to The Simon Communities of Ireland, St Andrew’s House, 28-30 Exchequer St, Dublin 2.

This is one of the many decorative headstones in Belfast City Cemetery. It belongs to Lucy Layton Hamilton who died on July 18th 1878 She was from Bangor and was only 16 when she died. The headstone is an anchor entangled in rope. The anchor became a key Christian symbol during the period of Roman persecution.

The anchor was an early Christian symbol commonly found in the Roman catacombs as a symbol of the hope we have in Christ beyond this life,  The symbol comes from this biblical verse:

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:19-20)

Whatever about it’s origins this is a very good example.

This is Caitlin McCloskey who was was having great fun with the bubbles in the studio.

This is Bailey The dog who was being exercised by his owners near the Glenavon Hotel in Cookstown today.
