DAVID Stapleton has never met Noah Quish but the little boy’s bravery has inspired him to run a marathon on his 42nd birthday.
The former Limerick U-21 All-Ireland winner in 2000 and Doon hurler is more than half way through his training. The Castleconnell-based garda will be lacing up his trainers for the 26 mile challenge on May 24.
Like many of us he found himself at a bit of a loose end after Christmas due to Covid restrictions.
“I was saying, ‘What will I do with myself?’ I got this idea that I would run a marathon and raise some money for charity,” said David.
