Cork man to run 40 miles in honour of his friend and raise funds for young family

Ricardo Ferreira collapsed at home in Blackpool last April. He never got to meet his now five-month-old daughter Mia Rose

Ieva Voltmane with her partner Ricardo Ferreira, who died from a brain aneurysm last April.

A 25-year-old Cork man who was killed by an aneurysm hours after painting the nursery for his unborn child has had a fundraiser set up in his name to help his young family.

And a close friend is also set to run the Cork City virtual marathon and virtual half-marathon on the same day to raise more money for the cause.
