A determined man is set to take on two huge endurance challenges to raise money for a good cause.
John Blake, 43, will be running the Ironman race and Dublin City Marathon to fundraise for the Ballybrack Bulls, a local wheelchair basketball club. John told Dublin Live: "The players are phenomenal athletes and they do it so effortlessly.
"It costs them €120 a week just to rent the hall for training. Their costs are probably €4,000 a year. I want to raise enough money to give them enough security for a year so they don't have to worry about being able to afford rent or new gear."
