Can you help match this little girl's fighting strength?

Kettlebelle.ie called for people to help them “Go The Distance” last Saturday to help one Galway girl get the vital care she needs in America.

Grace Kenneally is a fighter, having started her battle with children’s cancer Neuroblastoma since she was just five years old.

Although she is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Crumlin Children’s Hospital, Grace only has a 4% chance of survival here in Ireland.

Last Saturday, the team at Kettlebelle.ie held a fitness fundraiser to help get Grace the care she needs to fight this aggressive illness.

To match the strength of this little lady, both Michelle Massey and Jayne O’Toole of Kettlebelle.ie lifted 5,782kg in weight.

This represents the distance in kilometres that Grace will have to travel from her home county Galway to America for vital treatment unavailable here in Ireland.
