As you may be aware I have had some health difficulties over the past few months.

With all the challenges that the diagnosis presented, it came as a huge relief to June and me that all the practical issues were taken care of for us by the Friends of St Luke’s. This included the door-to-door bus service, on-site accommodation and all meals provided in the lovely surroundings in Rathgar.

To raise money for this fantastic charity I am undertaking the STEP-tember challenge throughout the month of September to help and support this vital service. We have set a fundraising target of €3,000 which we as a family will match. We would be very grateful for any donation you could contribute to this truly worthy cause.
