Young Derry man Josh running perimeter of NI for great-granny Jean and brain cancer research
A generous young Derry man has set himself a challenge to run the perimeter of NI for Cancer Research UK to honour his much-loved, great-granny.
Jean Nutt is the great-granny of Josh Cooke, who is 19.
Jean is currently seriously ill and Josh told the ‘Journal’ how, in her honour, he wanted to raise money for brain cancer research.
To do so, he has decided to set himself the challenge of running the perimeter of NI.
He added how he also wanted to undertake the fundraiser to ‘help people going through these hard times’.
Josh began his run on Tuesday last at the Peace Bridge and his planned route will take him to Strabane, Kesh. Enniskillen, Dungannon, Newry, Belfast, Ballyclare, Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady, Eglinton and then back to Peace Bridge.
