Nick, who hails from Wexford but moved to Glasgow in 2017, died after spending 10 days in the care of the Neurological ICU ward at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.

In Nick’s memory, his family, partner Lewis and friends are organising Shore to Shore - a charity cycle from Curracloe Beach in Wexford to Loch Lomond.

The cycle will begin on Friday, May 1 and finish on Monday, May 4, 2026.

A GoFundMe has been set up to raise funds from the cycle.

The funds will go to the Rainbow Unit in Scoil Mhuire, Wexford, where Nick’s father and brother taught, and the Neurological Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.

The GoFundMe says: "We would like to sincerely thank the group of cyclists and support crew who are giving up their time to undertake this challenge in Nick’s memory.

"The cycle could not happen without the support of family and friends in Ireland and Scotland, and we know that Nick would be so proud of the effort being made to complete this challenge together in his name."
