Jackie Leonard fundraising for NOVAS and Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust in Cook Medical Mini Marathon 2024

This time last year my beautiful dad Brian Leonard passed away suddenly following an accident while on holidays in Spain. Life without him has been difficult and it has been a very challenging 11 months navigating life without him. I miss him dearly and not a moment goes by without thinking of him. I’ve decided to run the Cook Medical 10Km in honour of him and in his memory. I have chosen to raise funds for 2 charities that do incredible work. My dad was a proud Limerick man and always wanted the best for Limerick and all its people especially the most vulnerable people. He believed in giving people opportunities in life and that’s exactly what NOVAS does. Repatriating a loved one home is a complicated and upsetting process. The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust helps so many families who encounter this awful and often unexpected ordeal. Please support my fundraising efforts today. I’m very grateful for your support. Thank you! Jackie x
