One Irish man is embarking on a run across the breadth of Ireland in memory of his loving brother who sadly passed away after a battle with cancer.
The challenges Ben sets each year are inspired by his eldest brother James, who sadly passed away in 2021 following a brave battle with cancer. “This year, as I reach the age James was when he passed—and as it would have been his 50th—it feels right to go all out and make this the biggest challenge yet.”
“Ryan has made incredible progress, but the treatments and therapies he needs to regain mobility are costly. This donation will go directly toward helping him access vital care and rehabilitation.”
