NO REPRO FEE 31/7/2021 An inspirational teenager from Dublin has completed his own version of an Olympic triathlon to give back to two charities that have helped him and his family throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Jack O’Donovan (18), centre, has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, is confined to a wheelchair, PEG-fed and non-verbal but none of that has stopped him from raising vital funds for Family Carers Ireland and the Central Remedial Clinic. Over the past two weeks, Jack has completed his version of a 10k triathlon by taking to the roads and the waterways with the help of his devoted parents Lynsey and Cathal and his three sisters, young carers Sophie, Robyn and Katie.
