The documentary was way above any expectations I had. The directing of the film was excellent and it was perfect to correlate to Shay’s life. It made you feel his up and downs and was emotional in parts. The surprise at the end with the ceremonials of former team mates was great and inspiring for members of the gym who look up to them to aspire to.

October the 17th was a brilliant night. It expressed numerous faces from all shapes of life coming together for one occasion. To celebrate the achievements Shay Walsh has commenced so far and hopefully many more achievements to come, to watch a community grow, have other members have similar opportunities for their future. Shay has created a pathway for the young community to develop into high quality adults and for the Adults to gain some confidence and strength in day to day life from creating such a welcoming atmosphere.
