John will be celebrating his 81st birthday during the sit-out 👏
A man from Newry is getting ready for his 31st consecutive year of taking part in a charity sit-out to raise funds for a local hospice.
As the years go on, John's sit-out duration has increased, with his plans to sit out this year for two weeks from December 10 until December 24, from 8am until 5pm each day. "Last year we had the big milestone of my 80th birthday and the team celebrating 30 years of the sit-out and I wondered how we could beat that. Then I realised this year is special too because it’s another year where I am fit to continue and I know that the money we raise will really help the Hospice, and at the end of the day that’s what it’s really all about.
"John and his dedicated sit-out team are an incredible example of the spirit of giving at Christmas. The amount of time and effort that they put into this collection for the Hospice each year is truly amazing, and it is an honour to work alongside them.
