Keilly Cornell and daughter Olivia. LLANFAIR Caereinion resident Keilly Cornell, 39, completed an epic 75-mile walk in support of the National Deaf Children’s Society on March 20. Keilly completed her 75-mile walk around the hills and countryside of her local area over 20 days this month, starting on March 1 and finishing on March 20. Keilly was accompanied on occasion by her daughters, the family dog and her friends, who gave up their time to support her. She was inspired to take on the challenge for the National Deaf Children’s Society because daughter Olivia, 10, was born deaf and has cochlear implants. Her family has received ongoing support from the charity since Olivia was a baby.
