Last month, Orlagh ran the Dublin Marathon, raising an incredible £1,300 for CBIT! Her motivation came from the support received after her son Alfie was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Thank you, Orlagh, for giving back in such a meaningful way. Your kindness and determination are truly inspiring.

What a wonderful day our families had recently at None Go Bye Farm in Leeds! 🐑🐰
