Are they going to be doing that each day in stages the whole way from Sarria to Santiago?

I think so.

What an achievement

Inspiring! They made it all the way to the Cathedral. They covered every inch of the route from Sarria. Here is the last day's post.

As Tony says in his last post, if you are interested in participating next time, join the "I'll Push You" team. And the super duper wheelchair will be kindly minded by @ivar, for the next person who needs it.

With special thanks to the many people in Santiago and connected with the Camino who gave advice and helped make this possible.

I have read their book and watched their documentary chronicling their initial pilgrimage.

Since then they have both made accessible travel just that for so many handicap persons.

I follow them on FB.

Well done them!

I saw their inspiring documentary "I'll Push You" last year at the theater. It brought tears to my eyes as the love and loyalty displayed by these two friends was so amazing. I've also seen the two of them candidly discussing their friendship on "Ted Talks".
