Details
Larry Mooney & Alan Park are taking to the railways of Ireland to raise funds for Special Olympics Ireland Eastern Region.

On the 6th Of October we will be travelling around Ireland in one day to raise funds for Special Olympics Ireland Eastern Region.

We start our journey at 5.20am in Tralee and arrive at our final destination, Derry at 11.20pm. We will cover a journey of over 1,250 rail kilometers passing through many of Irelands towns and cities.

Having enjoyed success at the highest levels of Motor Sport we have decided to complete the Train of Thought Challenge to support the Special Olympics programme which is all about Changing Lives.

We have garnered the support of Irish Rail www.irishrail.ie and CIE Tours International http://www.cietours.ie/ who have donated a voucher to the value of €1,000 that will be awarded to the donor who guesses to the nearest figure the number of railway sleepers we will pass over on our journey.

For each €2 donated you can lodge a guess i.e. €2 = 1 guess or €20 = 10 guesses. All guesses along with donor names and contact numbers should be emailed to - paul.ahearne@specialolympics.ie. Alternatively please text your guesses to Paul at 085 8031112. Paul will ensure all guesses are checked and the one nearest to the correct figure as provided by Irish Rail will win the voucher.

Here's hoping we don't go off the rails!
