When Julie Cronin and her husband John Hannon decided to open a wildlife centre in Cork six years ago, the couple believed it would be a passion project they could enjoy together

However, just two years later in 2019, John was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer after going to the doctor with a persistent cough.
