I
would like to thank the Lord Rootes Memorial Fund for their trust in
the project and the award that made it feasible. Also, to Dr Toni
Haastrup for her academic reference and an invaluable advice, both on
the project and throughout the Masters year. To Jakub Lasota, Isabel
Ferrer Molina and Matthew Richards for their kind references and the
support that cannot be overestimated.
To
my parents, Krystyna and Grzegorz, for their efforts that have
allowed me to carry on with both my studies at Warwick and the
project presented here. To my brothers: Łukasz,
for the unwavering support in times of need, and Tomasz, for the
brilliant feedback on my initial project application. Also, to my
aunt Elżbieta for
her simple yet extraordinary help with the practical preparation for
the expedition.
To
friends and people of good will that I have come across before and
during the expedition. Without meeting you, whether it was a
discussion that we had, a supportive smile that we exchanged, the
value of human kindness and companionship that you showed me, a
life-saving car lift to Lourdes that I was offered, a diagnosis on my
injured leg or an advice on how to continue on the coming 550
kilometres, without each and every one of these, and more, my
experience of a pilgrimage would not have been the same. Thank you
whether you are in Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, South
Korea, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the United States or
Ukraine.
Finally,
to all of you reading this blog for the effort you make. Without it,
I would definitely not have that much motivation to go on publishing
new posts. ;) Also, for the smile caused by a quick glimpse at the
statistics. ;)
A
small gift for all of you:
