“What an achievement, together we raised over €14,500. Thank-you so much to everyone who took sponsorship cards, who donated so generously to this worthy cause and who chose to walk in Brian’s memory.
“The Memorial Walk was a great opportunity for us as a family to remember Brian with the other families who chose to walk in memory of their loved ones. Thank you everyone.
“Brian would be so proud of his family & friends,” they said.
