author encounter: neil caDigan In late 2010, Andrew ‘Cad’ Cadigan quit his job, sold his home and set out to walk around Australia. He was doing it in honour of a mate, Chris Simpson, who had recently succumbed to a rare pre-leukaemia condition.

Four days after triumphantly completing his trek, Cad left for a holiday in Thailand, where he planned to turn his journals into a book. Tragically, within a month he suffered horrific injuries in a motorcycle accident, dying twelve weeks later.

Cad’s father, Neil, vowed to his son that he would finish his book, With Every Step.

It is an emotional story that only a father could tell.
