Hannah O'Byrne
Hannah is 23 years old and lives in Kildare. She used to be 18 stone and drank 16 cans every day and multiple packets of crisps. One morning she turned over in bed and the bed broke in two and that was the moment she decided she had to do something about her weight. Since last Christmas she has lost 6 stone purely by giving up both completely.
Life has definitely changed for the better and she decided to tell her story to encourage others to lose weight just by giving up junk food, not necessarily by going on slimming programmes

Pokemon Good News Story
Val Robus has a son called Jono. He’s 22 and has Asberger’s Syndrome and scoliosis. He was recently selected as one of two Irish people to compete in the World Pokemon Championships which will be held in San Francisco in a couple of weeks.
Jono has been playing Pokemon since the age of 8 – long before anyone knew who Pokemon was. People only now know who Pokemon was because of Pokemon Go which has been brilliant for Jono because it has gotten him out walking which he supposed to do for his back problems but which he often does not do. Pokemon Go is great for his health.
