When popular Kinsale fisherman Des Hurley died in a tragic accident at sea on December 14, his family and the wider community in Kinsale were devastated by his loss. Des was Joey’s godfather and best friend, and his death left the lad with his world shattered. But he bravely channeled his grief into exercise with the help of friend and personal trainer Mickey Power, who understood how shock and sadness can affect someone so young.
