As many of you know, John died on the 26th of February 2024 in the most difficult of circumstances. John was a loving partner, a besotted Daddy, a faithful son and loyal brother, as well as a kind and warm friend to all those he knew and met.

Though there is not a day or hour that passes that John is not remembered by his friends and family, we would like to remember him together with all those people whose lives he touched.

With this in mind we have decided to climb Diamond Hill, Connemara, a walk which holds many special memories of John, on Saturday, 14th of June 2025.

We would love for as many people as possible to join us on that day to climb, chat and remember John and the very special person he was. We hope in doing so to also raise some much-needed funds for the Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit (OMCSU). They provided a lifeline to us, John’s family and friends, in the aftermath of John’s death as we searched to recover him from the sea. The kindness, support, time and expertise provided by OMCSU and all their volunteers will stay with us forever.

We would like to assist this wonderful charity in supporting other families living their worst nightmares by raising as much money as possible. We are asking all those that are joining us on the day to make a donation here in John’s memory.

If you can’t join us on the day, please consider making a donation here to support a truly wonderful cause.

We plan to meet at 10.30am in the carpark at Diamond Hill and start the walk no later than 11am. After we plan to have some light food/refreshments arranged locally. In order to get an idea on numbers and keep you up-to-date on arrangements, please open the WatsApp link for the group that accompanied the link for this donation page and join (or scan the WatsApp QR code on the printed media).
