My husband was planning to do the Camino but due to ill health he died recently. As a family we would like to make a donation that will help others fulfil his dream. but we don't know how we can do this

Over the years I have met a number of people doing this - and I will be doing the same later this year in the name of a dear friend who passed away recently. Best wishes to you and your family.
