From Sullivan to outer space and Lego therapy.

The former Sullivan student now working with NASA, the West Belfast boxer who’s made a remarkable Covid inspired comeback and the therapeutic value of Lego.

Vinny Hurrell chats with Dr Caoimhe Rooney from Holywood. She now works with NASA and has aspirations to be the first person from Northern Ireland to become an astronaut. He hits the gym with Nicole Meli, a boxer from West Belfast who became elite champion following a Covid inspired comeback after six years out of the ring. Then there’s Carole Wilmont – a former classroom assistant now touring the country with her unique Lego therapy for young people with autism and other special needs. Meanwhile, Paula slow cooks bacon ribs.
