‘We need someone to carry the torch,' says Dublin dad with MND urging for new Irish voice in fight against disease
His plea comes as Kenny Logan and a team of sporting stars complete a 555-mile charity cycle at the Aviva Stadium today. Andrés Estevez-Guersanik (45), originally from Argentina but living in Dublin for 20 years, said Ireland needs a public champion to raise awareness and funding for MND, warning that momentum could fade without a high-profile voice. The father-of-two said: 'We had Charlie Bird and Fr Tony Coote. They made such a difference as they got the nation talking, but they're not here anymore and no one has stepped in. And without that voice, that figure, the momentum is at risk of fading. 'We need someone new to carry the torch for awareness and to change how people treat this disease, how quickly you're diagnosed, how services work. That only happens when someone with a platform says, 'Enough.' When they say, 'This matters.'' Andrés was speaking as he prepares to greet Logan and the team to Dublin and the Aviva Stadium today as they complete Doddie's Lions Challenge – a 555-mile cycle around Ireland raising funds for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. Andrés described his own diagnosis as a 'rollercoaster of emotions'. A passionate runner and cyclist, he said it was devastating to learn he had an incurable illness. 'Suddenly, everything has a different meaning,' he said. 'I value small things much more, and these small things are now the essence of life — sitting down for a coffee and chatting, or the possibility of doing simple little things.' He spoke as Scotland rugby hero Logan led a team including football legend Ally McCoist, broadcaster Gabby Logan, and actor Jamie Bamber on the final leg of Doddie's Lions Challenge, a gruelling cycle raising funds for MND research through My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The group — cycling around 100 miles a day across Ireland's rugby heartlands — has already raised more than £500,000, with further donations supporting both the Foundation and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. Andrés, once a keen marathon runner and cyclist, now relies on support from the IMNDA and is awaiting a hospice bed for respite care. He said public figures are key to changing how people respond to the disease. 'A voice helps people connect with MND — that's the shift we need in Ireland. Because MND can happen to anyone, and people deserve better when it does,' he added. Kenny Logan will lead a team of celebrities on the cycle including his wife, broadcaster Gabby Logan, football legend Ally McCoist, and actor Jamie Bamber. The group will cycle approximately 100 miles a day across some of Ireland's most scenic and historic rugby heartlands, stopping at the home clubs of Lions' legends throughout. The former Scotland winger said: 'Doddie put MND on the map, and we're committed to carrying on his legacy. If this ride helps shine a light and inspires someone in Irish sport to pick up the torch, then it's already a success. 'We've had an unbelievable time in Ireland and it's been incredible to meet members of the rugby and MND communities who have welcomed us with open arms. We're all excited to get to the Aviva to watch the game with Andrés – even though we'll be cheering on different sides!'

Miami's Newest Restaurant Openings, June 2025
Having trouble keeping up with all the new establishments popping up? Here are some noteworthy restaurants opening around Miami this June. Located inside the Orcidea Hotel, Donatella offers classic Italian fare such as polipo al Insalata, carpaccio gambero rosso, rigatoni nduja, and black truffle cacio e pepe. Dishes are made with fresh ingredients and feature artisanal pastas. The Empanadas, founded in Key Biscayne, opened its sixth location in South Miami. Choose from 25 different empanadas ranging from standards like beef and chicken to sweet varieties filled with apple pie or Nutella and brownie. There are also vegan choices, so everyone can enjoy empanadas. Celebrity chef and humanitarian, José Andrés, opened Aguasal and Bar Centro at the Andaz Miami Beach Hotel. Aguasal, named for agua salada, the Spanish term for saltwater, is a restaurant celebrating coastal Mediterranean fare. Dishes include mussels saganaki with feta and chives; roasted cauliflower with tahini, sesame seeds, ground coriander, pomegranate, and puffed quinoa; and a whole snapper. Fans of chef Andrés will be familiar with Bar Centro, an indoor-outdoor bar with ocean views. Enjoy a key lime pie daiquiri and snack on Spanish tapas and sandwiches. Macchialina's Michael Pirolo, along with managing partners Jennifer Chaefsky and Jacqueline Pirolo, have opened Fluke, a combination cocktail lounge and seafood spot inside the former Macchialina space. As the name implies, martinis are the house drink, paired with seafood selections from a rotating menu of raw and fried items and crudos. There's also a great burger, rosemary-dusted, hand-cut fries, and a selection of natural, biodynamic wines. Stop in for the Lucky $7 Martini Happy Hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring a selection of martinis for seven bucks. Francesco, a Coral Gables favorite for Peruvian cuisine, has reopened after a seven-year hiatus. The restaurant, which attracted celebrities such as Gloria Estefan and Pitbull, recently reopened at a new location on Miracle Mile. Dishes include a cannelloni stuffed with chicken stew, a New York strip with gnocchi, and a catch of the day. If you're seeking romance, 'Wednesdate' nights offer live music, starting at 7 p.m. Located inside a former Lutheran church, Jay's may be one of Fort Lauderdale's most unique venues. With stained glass windows, arched windows, and vaulted ceilings, you might just exclaim, 'holy cow' (pun intended) when your steak arrives. Expect seafood towers, steaks, and sides – plus a prime rib trolley, where your meat gets wheeled to you and serviced tableside. Jay's trades its restaurant persona after hours for a late-night speakeasy. If that's not swanky enough, Jay's offers a membership club with exclusive benefits for $800 per quarter. Mai Sushi & Tapas Bar, a Japanese-Vietnamese sushi and tapas bar located in Coral Gables, offers a diverse selection of sushi, sashimi, and hot and cold tapas in a modern, funky setting. Find a large choice of rolls, including the Crunchy Coral Gables with tuna, white fish, salmon, avocado, fried garlic, eel sauce, spicy mayo, and tempura flakes. Also, take a look at the skewers and dumplings. Buenos Aires-based Niño Gordo has opened a branch in Wynwood, offering Asian fusion cuisine that melds Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian flavors with Argentine grilling techniques. Award-winning bar consultant Christine Wiseman heads the cocktail program. The flagship location has earned the #34 spot in Latin America's 50 Best list. St. Augustine's Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge and Kitchen pops up in Little Havana for an open-ended run inside Pocho's Express. The lounge offers cocktails made with Latin American spirits and fresh fruits. Inter Miami fans should check out the Don't Mess with Messi, made with Fernet Branca and pineberry sage syrup. Food is provided in-house by Colombian restaurant Sanpocho. Direct from Guadalajara, Sala de Despecho ('Heartbreak Room' in English) knows that bad dates are a universal experience. The restaurant invites you to eat tacos, drink mezcal, and sing your heart out — literally — with a version of drunken karaoke. If you're looking for a place guaranteed not to be filled with bridal shower parties on a Saturday night, this is the right place. New York City's Serafina expands its Florida outreach with a new location at Miami Worldcenter. The restaurant at Aventura Mall offers wood-fired pizzas, pastas, and standard Italian red sauce fare. Skinny Louie won the 2025 South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Burger Bash for its 100% Angus beef smash burgers. The concise menu offers those burgers in a few iterations (and an Impossible version), fries, and shakes. This simple strategy has proven effective, with Skinny Louie branching out into Coral Gables, and expanding to Danie Beach, Aventura, South Miami, West Palm Beach, and New York City soon. Japanese cuisine and American smokehouse barbecue marry at Ukiah. Chef Michael Lewis brings his Asheville restaurant to Fort Lauderdale, where diners can enjoy sushi, sashimi, dumplings, and more, with a river view. The star of the show is Lewis's smoked platters. Diners can choose from a smoked half chicken, Carolina pork shoulder, brisket, or pastrami short rib — each served with pickled vegetables, kimchi, and toasted rye bread — and large enough for sharing. This much-loved Italian restaurant closed last year, only to reopen recently across the street from its original location in the Farinelli space, which Strada owner Javier Uribe also owns. The new Strada in the Grove effectively merges both spots, offering classic Italian dishes with Farinelli's wood-fired pizzas. See More:
