Prison officers saddle up for brain injury charity

Hardy prison officers will have traversed some 700km for charity when they dismount at Mizen Head tomorrow.

Having taken off from Malin Head, the northernmost tip of the island on Monday, the 14-strong team are due at Mizen Head tomorrow.

The group, mainly made up of officers from Limerick Prison, are raising funds and publicity for Limerick-based charity Ian’s Trust. The trust was established to support families of children who suffer from acquired brain injury.
