Former Tipperary hurler Seamus Hennessy can feel very proud indeed, following an epic marathon that resulted in the raising of over €200,000 for suicide prevention awareness.
The Antarctica Ice Marathon took place in December, with Hennessy battling intense elements as part of his 'Running for Josie' campaign. Not only that, but the Tipp native completed the marathon in an impressive seven hours, five minutes and 33 seconds, finishing in 33rd place overall. "We are extremely grateful to Seamus for the tremendous fundraising and completing the gruelling physical challenge."He is an inspiration to young and old. The funds received will go a long way to help us provide our nationwide services which are free of charge and freely available therapeutic services to people re in suicidal distress and those who engage in self-harm."
