On July 10th, Al Collins will be embarking on a skate mission in aid of Muscular Distrophy Ireland, leaving from Ireland's most southern point Mizen Head, and heading North to the top, Malin Head. The 620km (385 mile) journey hopes to be completed in just 10 days.

Cheers for sticking this up Nat, it's nice to see someone else doing the Ireland slog!

Good luck Al, you look super strong!

Ahh, I really love such border to border skates! The thought of 'conquering' a country like that is the best! Your motivation for the charity is also what drove me to choose the study I am going to do, best of luck with everything!
