This year Jack and I have ran 2 x 10k races, 2 Half Marathons and the Belfast City Marathon (Yip all 26.2 miles in his buggy)

In September 2017 myself and a few friends plan to cycle from Mizen Head in County Cork to Malin Head in County Donegal (400 miles approx.) in order to raise some funds towards a sensory room for Jack. If all goes well Jack will be joining us for part of the journey.

In June 2009 Jack was diagnosed with a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Angelman Syndrome. Angelman Syndrome is characterized by severe intellectual and developmental disability, Sleep disturbance and Epileptic seizures. Jack is a wonderful, loving and very caring 11 year old boy, he has the most infectious laugh, loves a carry on and loves to be around people.

We have also linked with and wish to raise funds for two well known charities:The Southern Area Hospice and Myeloma UK.
