Earlier this year, I lost my mum, Maeve, after a long battle with cancer. She showed incredible courage and resilience throughout her illness, and her strength continues to inspire me every day.

On the 29th of August, I'll be taking on the Hardman Triathlon in her memory. The Hardman is one of Ireland's toughest endurance events, consisting of a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km cycle around the Ring of Kerry, and a full marathon (42.2 km). It will be the biggest physical challenge I've ever undertaken, and I'm doing it to honour Mum and everything she has done for our family.

I'm raising funds for the Irish Cancer Society to support the incredible work they do for people living with cancer and their families. If you're able to donate or share this page, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support.
