The 30-year-old died suddenly two years ago
Two years after the sudden death of Cushendall mother Lisa McAlister, her legacy is continuing to change the conversation surrounding mental health in the Glens of Antrim.
He said: "We really never expected to raise as much as we did and we were overwhelmed and wanted to make sure we did everything properly. We went about trying to set up the Lisa McAlister Foundation that we have mirrored on the Stephen Clements Foundation. The Lisa McAlister Foundation was able to donate a total of £25,000 to the Niamh Louise Foundation, a Co Tyrone charity in the area where Mark teaches that has been there for the family since the start of their journey.
An additional £10,000 has been donated to Ireland's leading social justice charity Extern which Mark believes has "breathed new life" into the Glens since beginning their work in Lisa's name. "They are going to bring their training and counselling services here and strengthening our local institutions too."
