Niall, 15, has life-limiting illness Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disease that primarily affects boys and causes progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.
Niall’s mum Deborah couldn’t be prouder, “He was absolutely amazing and walked right to the Peace Bridge. We are bursting with pride! It was a great day with so much support for Niall.”
