Kevin Downey from Belfast now lives in London and has recently returned from cycling 3000 miles through 13 countries across Europe - just for fun !
Over the past two years he has ran the Belfast Marathon for local charities such as the Ulster Cancer Foundation, and is now planning his next challenge for 2012 to raise vital funds for local charities throughout Northern Ireland.
Kevin is looking to combine running, cycling and kayaking. Below shows how the challenge will unfold
· 22 April / London Marathon (26.2miles)
· 24 April - 4 May / Cycle from London to Portpatrick via Cardiff & Edinborough (700miles approx.)
· 5 May or 6 May / Kayak the North Channel to Northern Ireland (20miles approx.)
· 7 May / Belfast City Marathon (26.2miles)
·
Kevin needs support with crossing the North Channel. Due to the fact that he will be cycling to and leaving from Portpatrick in Scotland he will not have a Kayak of his own and as he is not overly experienced he would really like a few people to paddle it with.
Kevin would love to hear from you if you could be of any help and would just like re-irritate that all proceeds raised will go to local charities within the North of Ireland. Everyone involved or not in the helping of the event will feel the benefit.
