A Co Down man is taking on an ultra marathon challenge in a bid to raise funds for a charity supporting a school friend diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease .
"One of her friends Stephanie was doing a challenge at the start of the year and I had donated, and Stephanie messaged me to say the challenge was for Julia, so that inspired me to do something for her." "I'm doing a lot of running down in Co Wicklow at the minute, I'm planning to do the Wicklow Round at some stage which is 63 miles in under 24 hours over 26 mountains," he said.
