Hi all, My name is Martin Sheridan. I’m married to Nicole and have 2 sons Michael and Thomas. I took up running in 2013. Ever since then I’ve been hooked! My challenge for this year is to complete a walk from Malin head in Co. Donegal to the Ring of Kerry, Sneem Co. Kerry in 9 days. This is a distance of 310 miles the equivalent of 12 marathons. This will cover 10 counties along my route Donegal, Derry, Fermanagh, Cavan, Leitrim, Longford, Offaly, Tipperary, Limerick and finally Kerry. To date I have completed the Moylagh JFK 50 mile challenge 5 times, which I will also be taking part in on June 9th this year before I undertake my challenge and have also completed 14 marathons since 2013. In 2017 I managed to raise €6000 for the JFK 50 mile challenge which is in aid of the Irish cancer society. The walk will start at 7am on the Saturday the 23rd of June at Malin Head 2018 and finishing at 12 noon on Sunday the 1st of July 2018. We all have stories and experiences close to our hearts of family members and friends who have had cancer some no longer with us like my late father in-law Michael who lost his battle in 1990 at the age of 43. Please help me to raise money for this very worthy cause and smash last year’s total and if you see me dig deep, give me a shout out or pull on a pair of comfortable shoes and walk a mile or 50! Thank you in anticipation of your kind donations, Martin
