Shane Finn from Dingle will set out on his record attempt on 22 June, hoping to raise €100,000 in aid of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland (SBHI). His impetus for the fundraiser is that a cousin, Mary, suffers from the illness.
The support vehicle is a new Ford Transit Tourneo Custom diesel with nine seats and a large luggage area for carrying all of the equipment and supplies needed to ensure the success of the '24 Marathons, 24 Days' initiative.
