Ring of Kerry charity run in just one day

A MAN is set to run the scenic Ring of Kerry in a single day to raise funds for a little boy who has stunned medics by his recovery from pioneering surgery for a fatal brain disease.

Father-of-two Paul Gosney, from Beaufort in Co Kerry, will set off on the gruelling 112-mile (180km) run around the tour route on October 15.

He wants to raise funds for brave three-year-old Liam Heffernan, the little Kerry boy fighting Battens Disease which claimed the life of his sister, Saoirse, aged five, earlier this year.
