The shape I’m in: Jon Kenny, comedian/actor

THOUGH going through gruelling treatment for a life-threatening disease, Jon Kenny continued to plant trees, near his home in Lough Gur, Co Limerick.

One day, in between chemotherapy sessions, his strength failed him, so he took matters into his own hands.

“I was digging a hole and I realised that I hadn’t the strength to even use a spade. The only way I could manage to plant this tree in the ground was to get down and lie on the ground and scrape it out with my hands.
