Dave Cullen and Trevor Ringland have come together from opposite sides of the ongoing struggle in Northern Ireland, have put aside a lifetime of hatred, and have joined together to create a sports program that brings together the children of Northern Ireland from both sides of the conflict. Their phylosophy is: If we can learn to play together, we can learn to live together. Through basketball, these two men and the couragous families that have joined them are trying to move a mountain, and one milimeter at a time, they are moving it. Dear God in Heaven, please bless their efforts and grant them strength. Their friendship and their mission is an inspiration to the world.
