Truckers urged to join charity rally in memory of Co Armagh man, Tiernan Green, who tragically died following an acute asthma attack near Lurgan
It’s almost 9 years since popular Co Armagh man, Tiernan Green (20), lost his life to an acute asthma attack but his legacy lives on as his family organises a charity event in his memory.
“It’s been almost nine years, and the pain of his loss still weighs heavily on our family,” said Tiernan’s dad Stephen.

Tiernan was an active young man, involved in sports including the GAA despite suffering from asthma, however one acute episode led to his premature death in 2017.
"Tiernan was only 20 years old, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled. As our family grows, so does the memory of him, and we want to honour his life in a meaningful way.
"On Saturday, April 25, 2026, we will be hosting the Big T’s Truck Run at Norman Emerson’s Sand Quay outside Lurgan to celebrate what would have been Tiernan’s 30th birthday.
"This event is not just about remembering him but also about raising awareness for asthma, a cause that is incredibly important to us.
"We hope to gather as many trucks as possible to support two charities close to our hearts: the NI Air Ambulance and Little Heroes at the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children,” said Stephen.
"We would be incredibly grateful for any donations you can make. Every little bit helps us make a difference in the lives of children and families facing similar challenges. Thank you for your support and kindness.”
