A mountain rescue charity has said it is deeply humbled by the generosity of a father-of-two whose wife died tragically while she was out running in Comeragh Mountains, Co Waterford, two months ago.

South East Mountain Rescue Association (Semra) recently received a significant donation from the Gillian Ryan Fundraiser which was launched by her husband Conor and family.
