Episode 20 - Hester Glenn

I'm joined this week by Hester Glenn. Camp Jacko is infamous in the city of Derry for being the hub where people met to help look for Hester's son, Jack, when he entered the River Foyle in February 2017. Somewhere he would stay for 8 weeks due to the cold weather and his body being physically stuck underwater. Hester is a bubbly character who has had to fight her demons from losing her son all those years ago. She talks about those horrific 8 weeks when she just wanted him to come home, as well as how support groups helped her deal with her grief.
