Paul Fallon Runs Around Ireland

We would like to wish Paul Fallon good luck on his brave running journey of 1,000 miles around Ireland in the 31 days of December. Also congratulations are in order for the last 7 days where he has run from the phoenix park in Dublin to Clonmel in Tipperary via Wicklow, Wexford, Kilkenny and Waterford. Paul, a Galway native, is completing the ‘1,000 Mile Run for Home’ to raise money for the “On the Run Again” (OTRA) programme.
