The 67-year-old former footballer raised the money by completing the 500-mile Camino Way walk in Spain.

Jackie, who plays golf at Fortwilliam Golf Club, began his gruelling trek on June 18 in the French Pyrenees, and averaging 100 miles a week emerged foot-sore and weary into the famous square in Camino de Santiago de Compostela five weeks later.

The money raised by Jackie - with the help of family, friends and businesses - will go towards the cost of providing vital services at Horizon House, Glengormley.
