“After our descent we make our return journey home to Kildare town walking another 50K passing St. Brigid's Hospice, we will be walking for 24 hours to complete this challenge in 2020 all in aid of St. Brigid's Hospice, The Curragh.”
This Challenge is in Memory of Kathleen Brennan who lost her battle in March 2019, Kathleen was the mother of Chris Brennan, who is responsible for the ideas behind theses challenges.
