My first cousin once removed, Lyra Chan, is raising money for the (UK) ME Association. Incidentally, I spent a lot of time with her mum (Rachael) and her siblings and family growing up. They were from outside Newbury in Berkshire (my uncle Brendan was a dentist in Newbury). I had a number of holidays there growing up which gave me a strong feeling of connection to the country (which maybe not everyone from Ireland had). https://www.justgiving.com/page/charlie-blair-1685914260262
Well done Lyra. I grew up around there, loved the countryside. Used to enjoy walking along the Kennet & Avon canal towpath, of a summers day. What larks!
