Two Co Tyrone rugby players have completed a gruelling challenge around the Mournes in order to raise funds for families affected by dementia.
Lester Weir from Aughnacloy and David Sharkey from Fivemiletown carried a rowing machine around the Mourne Mountain wall, and completed a marathon each on the rowing machine during the challenge. It took the fitness fanatics over 17 hours to complete the challenge last Saturday.
Both men play rugby for the Clogher Valley RFC. David told Belfast Live his grandfather has been affected by dementia, while Lester’s dad has also been diagnosed with the disease.
