A GAA-mad Sligo teenager is visiting every county ground in Ireland this week in order to fundraise for Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Shane Kelly and his mam Sabrina decided to carry out the trip to mark Shane turning 18 later this year.
As Sabrina wrote in their GoFundMe mission statement, they then decided to also add a charitable component as Shane had to visit Temple Street many times over the course of his childhood as he suffered with illness.

Having set out from Antrim on Sunday, they have already surpassed their €10,000 fundraising target, with their journey set to conclude in Croke Park on Friday.
The Irish Mirror spoke to Sabrina about what the journey has been like so far as they've already crossed 14 of their 34 stadia off the list.
The 34 are made up of the 32 county grounds along with Croke Park as well as a bonus ground of The Showgrounds as Shane is also a big fan of The Bit O'Red.
Sabrina noted that they've been blessed with the weather despite heavy thunderstorms hitting much of the country.
This is particularly fortunate as they had just left Pearse stadium in Galway and yet somehow avoided the heavy showers along the west coast over the past few days.
She describes her son as 'the most passionate Gael you will ever find' who is a die-hard supporter of Sligo and his club St Michaels.
Such is his grá for his GAA sides, he has not only followed them around Ireland for matchdays but he's even gone all the way to New York to cheer them on.
While Sligo teams are his favourite, he also has a soft spot for Kilkenny and Kerry and got to cheer both on in person during their respective men's senior All-Ireland hurling and football finals last month.
Unfortunately there were mixed fortunes there as though The Kingdom lifted Sam Maguire for the first time since 2014, there was disappointment for his favourite player TJ Reid and the rest of The Cats as they couldn't quite prevent Limerick from winning their fourth title in five years.
