When I was 20 I lost my father to Motor Neurone disease. It is a cruel, debilitating disease with no cure, and one which affects so many families.

My father Gerry Quinn is the most impressive and brave human I will ever know. I am running the length of Ireland in his memory, and to do what I can to support the Motor Neurone Disease Association in their amazing work and to raise money for research into Motor Neurone Disease.

I will be running from Mizen Head in Cork to Malin Head in Donegal over the course of 10 Days, averaging 35 miles a day- for a total of 350 miles in 10 days.

I will start on August 18th and Finish on August 27th - Dads 5th Anniversary.

Any and all donations are profoundly appreciated.
