“Life might be a lot of things, but it won’t be long.” A beacon of resilience. This is why Rusty runs in the Aer Arann Islands Half Marathon. Last year, when I heard the half marathon was raising funds for ventilators in the Mater Hospital, I knew I wanted to take part.

John's niece would bring him these mountains of Jelly Babies. Before our session I'd say, 'Now John, before we start, are you ok for Jelly Babies?' For someone as sick as John, even a few extra days of mobility could be life-saving.

My name is Olive, and I’m a physiotherapist here at the Mater Hospital. When I first met John, he was in a bad way. His lungs that once breathed in air at summits across Ireland, Scotland and Wales, lungs that once carried him all the way up to Queen Maeve's mountain-top grave, were now failing him
