Gemma Hickey plans to end walk at Mount Cashel Memorial in August. A woman who was abused by a priest decades ago is getting ready to
walk 900 kilometres across Newfoundland in an effort to improve services
for abuse victims at religious institutions.
Gemma Hickey will start her walk in Port aux Basques on Thursday. On Sunday she held a "pre-walk" around Quidi Vidi Lake in St. John's — an opportunity for people to walk with her and learn more about why she's taken on the challenge.
