Story

Our Dad, Grand Pa and Dad in Law - Paschal O'Gorman was born in Ireland in June 1932. He was married to Maureen in 1956 and shortly after moved to England. He had 6 children, 15 Grandchildren and 2 Great Grandchildren. 

He was diagnosed with emphysema (COPD) in 2002 and he passed away in January 2015. 

In October 2015, in memory of Paschal, we are cycling the journey he made in his life from Ballinamuck, Longford, Ireland to Balsall Common, West Midlands, England. At the same time we hope to raise money for the British Lung Foundation to help others who suffer with this difficult condition to breathe easier. 

We would be so grateful if you could sponsor us to reach our target.  Thank you.
