TEAM OLLIE
Each year, over 200 babies are born with a heart defect in Northern Ireland. One third of these children will require further investigation and / or surgery.
Team Ollie have decided to do something worthwhile and work towards raising £20000 to purchase a Transesophageal Probe. This vital piece of equipment is used to provide doctors with a fast and accurate scan of the heart.
We have completed the marathon, now it's time for another challenge..........TEAM OLLIE members Brian Mckeown and Colin Graham plan to cycle from Cork to The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. This trip will commence on Friday 11th June with the boys hopefully reaching their destination in the early hours of Saturday morning. These two brave cyclists will be covering approximately 300 miles and they will be doing it non stop!!! So if you spot these guys and their support vehicle en route be sure to give them some much deserved encouragement.
