Balerno resident Daithi Heneghan is set to undergo a gruelling 4,477 km cycle, climbing the equivalent of four Mount Everests in aid of East African charity COCO, which seeks to provide education to impoverished children.
The arduous journey from Turin, Italy to the North Cape, Norway this summer will see Irish-born Heneghan pushed to extremes, a challenge he will relish to aid a worthy cause.
Heneghan will be supporting himself on the journey and sleeping wild on at least ten of the nights - he’s preparing for this by sleeping in his garden at his home in Scotland. This also means he’ll be carrying seven kilos of equipment in four bags on the bike.
