Don’s epic run to inspire organ donation

A man who ran 1,000km from the north to the south of Ireland in 15 days says he hopes his feat will inspire others to register as organ donors.

Don Hannon received a garda escort on Sunday evening as he reached his final destination on the Beara Peninsula, having set out from the Giant’s Causeway on March 31, the first day of Organ Donor Awareness Week.

An organ donor, Don, 45, had donated part of his liver to his ailing sister Therese in July 2016.
