A group from Inagh Ark Childcare are gearing up to take on one of Ireland’s toughest endurance challenges, Hell & Back, all in aid of a very special cause. They’re raising funds for the Intestinal Failure and Home PN Unit at Crumlin Children's Hospital, a service that has played a vital role in the life of young Kody Meaney, who was born with a rare condition known as Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypo-peristalsis Syndrome. To find out more, Alan Morrissey spoke with Jackie Garland and Emma Collins, who are part of the team taking on the challenge. Image © Jackie Garland
