Climb for Sean

CLIMB FOR SEAN

Hi Guys,

On the 21st March 2024, a loving Husband, Father and Friend to so many Sean Brown was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) specifically ALS. This diagnosis has been lifechanging for Sean, his wife Rienna, their three beautiful children, Cooper, Brody and Kaia and all of their friends and family. As they face this challenging journey, they need our love, support and assistance more than ever.

I know Sean from back in the day in the mid 2000's when Sean worked in EJ's Menswear and also worked as a DJ in a McHughs bar where I also worked as a doorman in Sligo. Sean is a keen sportsman and was a key player for St John's GAA in Sligo among other clubs and now a manager of St Johns.

A lovely man and always has time for a chat and a laugh.

I am planning to climb Knocknarea close to Strandhill for 28 days in a row, starting on Thursday 25th September 2025 and finishing with the last climb on the Wednesday 22nd October 2025, as a way to raise funds and to show all our love and support for Sean. The climbs will commence from the glen road side of Knocknarea at the car park.

What are the funds to be used for?

Sean’s medical needs will be extensive in the coming months and years, the funds raised will go directly towards Sean’s medical care, treatment, specialized equipment, and any additional support he will need. MND is a progressive and debilitating illness, and as the family navigates this difficult time, all donations raised from the climbs will go towards helping with the financial burden on Sean's family as much as possible so they can focus on Sean's health and spending precious time together, focusing on what matters most.

Anyone who would like to climb with me on any given day is more than welcome to join me, I will be posting up the times of the climb the day before each climb on my facebook page and you can also contact me on my facebook page.

Your support means the world to Sean, Rienna and their little family and any donation big or small would be extremely welcome. For those of you who wont be able to climb on any of the days or are not in a position to donate, please feel free to share the fundraiser, this would be greatly appreciated.

Together, we can help make a difference in Sean’s life as he faces this challenging time and your generosity and compassion will help Sean, Rienna, Cooper, Brady and Kaia with their journey ahead, knowing that they are not on their own and are surrounded by love and support.

Thank you for being there for Sean and his family during this challenging time. Your generosity and compassion will help Sean face the road ahead with strength, knowing that he’s surrounded by love.

Thanks Guys, looking forward to meeting you all on the climbs.

Martin
