Story

My brother Patrick Friel Curran died on the 23rd of September 2013 after a very short battle with sepsis. Patrick was a marathon runner and used his love of running to raise money for charitable causes and his memory inspires me still.

Starting on 25th of May I will walk 100 miles from Winchester to Eastbourne and hope to raise £2000 to keep my brothers legacy alive. I'll only be stopping to sleep and eat.

After Patrick died, his friends and family along with the good people of Derry raised money to help repatriate him. People were very kind and we raised much more than needed to bring Patrick home. The leftover money has been used to bring people home to their families when they have died abroad. This money has also been used to contribute to a lasting legacy project in Nairobi.

St Patrick's Rehabilitation Centre will offer 70 beds to young people who have been experiencing homelessness in Nairobi, Kenya. The centre will give young people skills which they can use for the rest of their lives and will also provide them with shelter and food.

Please help me and my family build a legacy for my brother and build a future for children in Nairobi who've faced adversity most of us will be fortunate enough to never experience.
