Dingle Way Challenge to kick off this Satuday at 5am

The Dingle Way Challenge, which takes place tomorrow, Saturday May 30th, will see walkers from all over Ireland and beyond converge on Corca Dhuibhne to walk amid the stunning scenery of West Kerry in aid of The Stuart Mangan Appeal. Stuart Mangan (25) from Cork (pictured right and far right) suffered a devastating spinal injury in 2008, while playing rugby with his club Hammersmith and Fulham RFC in London. He had just completed five years of university studies, graduating with a Law Degree from UCC and a Masters in European Business from ESC Paris, before he was hired on the trading floor of BNP Paribas in London. Sadly this sporting accident has left Stuart totally paralyzed from the neck down and will require 24-hour care for the rest of his life. The Dingle Way Challenge event promises to be an exceptional day in the mountains taking in the surroundings and the history of West Kerry. This trek is 55 km in length and is broken into 4 stages: Tralee to Camp, Camp to Annascaul, Annascaul to Lispole, Lispole to Dingle. All participants are asked to register at 4am in Blennerville Windmill Car Park on the morning of Saturday 30th May 2009.
