I am running the Great Manchester Run Half Marathon on 26th May in aid of Irish Community Care Manchester in memory of my grandparents Paddy and Theresa Kiely, who came to Manchester from County Tipperary with my mum and uncles in the late '60s.

ICCM began when many people came to England for work with little or no support. They now provide a range of services for the good Irish Community and diaspora and the wider communities in which they live.

Please find out more about them on their website and thank you for any support possible! https://www.irishcommunitycare.com/
