Story

As some of you may know Sarah, Conor and myself lost our dear father Seamus McNeill to idiopathic pulmonary Fibrosis on New Year’s Eve 2024, as well as other family relatives who have sadly passed due to the same illness and missed dearly every day.

Myself, Eugene, Conrad and Cahir have decided to run the Belfast half marathon on 21st sept 2025 along with James running a half marathon in Australia in memory of his own father Alastair Magee.

We would be grateful for some help to raise much needed funds to go towards research. The charity we have chosen is pulmonary fibrosis Ni.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
