A man inspired by the courage of a young boy who died on New Year’s Day after a long, brave battle with illness is planning to cycle the length of Ireland in just 24 hours to raise funds in his memory.

Ger Cotter hopes to cycle the 580km from Mizen Head in West Cork to Malin Head in Donegal to raise funds for Darragh’s Trust, named in honour of Darragh Guinevan, 12, from Cork, who died in Cork University Hospital’s Puffin Ward on January 1 last.
