Hey there. Thanks for stopping by.

I know what you're thinking, 'that's a long run you're doing there' and you know what, you're right. There is reason behind the madness though. 

In 2018, there are still people who believe that the life of an animal is their's to own and to destroy as they please, often in the most inhumane way possible.

The ISPCA work tirelessly to help save vulnerable animals from conditions that are just unimaginable. They deal with abandoned and abused animals day in, day out and I'm constantly in awe of their amazing work. 

To give a little back and hopefully help the ISPCA in their fight against animal cruelty and neglect, I want to raise as much money as I can by completing a 600km trail run along the Coast to Coast hiking trail. Begining at Bray Head on Valentia Island and ending in Marley Park nine days later. I hope that by putting myself through a little bit of pain (or a lot, we'll see how the knees hold up!), I can ease the pain and suffering of even one animal. 

So please donate as much as you can to help this amazing organisation. If you want more info about the ISPCA please go to there website www.ispca.ie

To follow for the run and my training in the lead up, go to www.aranrothar.com  or  'ar an rothar' on facebook.

Thanks very much,
Ciarán Fitzgerald
