GAA STARS ACROSS the country have been sending their best wishes to Jamie Wall today.

The young Cork dual star spoke at length for the first time about his battle to overcome a serious spinal injury.

His story provoked an incredible reaction with Aidan O’Shea, Padraic Maher and Anna Geary among those tweeting their support.

“Think he has defined mental strength,” wrote Mayo’s O’Shea.

Wall’s friends, family and team-mates will take part in the Lifestyle Sports Run in the Dark on 12 November. To join “Team Jamie,” click here.
