Crutchless Ciaron’s 25km Challenge

April 28, 2020 9:34 am Leave a Comment

Ciaron Noble from County Wicklow makes little of his dealing with Cerebral Palsy. An amazing man, Ciaron set himself the challenge of completing 25km over a five day period. In doing so, he has raised over €25,000 which will be shared equally between Enable Ireland and St. Vincent’s Foundation, for frontline staff support.

Ciaron expresses his challenge best in his own words:

“I, like many other young people live with Cerebral Palsy. So simple things like walking is difficult, but I think we all need to do our bit.

I will be walking up and down my garden for 5 days, hopefully doing 5km every day. In total I will have done a little over a Half marathon.

Money raised will be donated to Enable Ireland who continually do great work for children with disabilities and also to St. Vincents Foundation to support our amazing frontliners”.
