Ten fine young men from Blessington have just run 6kms every four hours throughout the day and night in a 48-hour period over the weekend of March 5 to 7 - a total of 72kms.
In the process they raised close to €6,000 for the Movember Foundation - all going to charities aimed at raising awareness of mens mental health. They have expressed their gratitude to everyone who supported this great effort.
When they finished they were each presented with a Certificate of Accomplishment by Blessington Town Team Chairperson John Horan who commented that: the future is safe in the hands of young men like these .
