He worked for 35 successful years in the horse-racing industry, until the birth of his fourth child, Jack, who within 24 hours of his birth became seriously ill. During the 22 months of Jack’s life, Jonathan learned that there were no state services to help care for children like him.

To date he has raised well over €48 million for the charity.view less
