Brave runner completes two-and-a-half marathons in one day in aid of young man paralysed in mountain bike crash

A brave runner completed an incredible two-and-half marathons in one day to raise funds for a Clondalkin man who suffered life-changing injuries in a mountain bike accident.

Eoghan Gorman was paralysed from the neck down after he was involved in the horrific accident in the Dublin Mountains in October 2021. The 24-year-old worked as a cabinet maker and excelled at kickboxing and Taekwondo before the dreadful accident.

His family and friends have since launched a fundraiser to allow his to come home from hospital and get the care he needs. Fellow Clondalkin man Mark Conlon was so moved by Eoghan's plight that he decided to take on the incredible running challenge last month to help the appeal.
