MS Ireland write:
In support of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland and in the run up to World MS Day on May 28, Cathal MacDonncha is undertaking an epic longboarding trek from Bordeaux, France to Bilbao, Spain. Cathal, a final year student, plans to use his longboard to travel approximately 360km during May 19 –June 3 this summer after he completes his medical degree at the University of Limerick. He’ll be carrying a helmet and a backpack with his tent and spork at the ready for some late night tins of beans cooked over a campfire to keep him going. He is funding his own travel, food and accommodation and all donations made will go to MS Ireland.
