Clann na nGael members to tackle two day run
TWO Clann na nGael GAA Club members are currently undertaking a gruelling running challenge.
Noel McDermott and Niall Kerlin are tackling the daunting David Goggins Challenge, which will see them complete four miles every four hours for 48 hours. They began their efforts this morning (Friday), finishing two days later on Sunday morning.
The pair are tackling the challenge for two charities close to their hearts – Motor Neurone Disease Association Northern Ireland and Western ICP Respiratory Pathway (a home respiratory care team).
