Lifelong Shels fan and current first team coach Davy O’Connor is currently training to run 10 marathons in 10 days from April 20 to April 29 . He is doing this in aid of mental health charity Aware.

Davy has decided to complete the challenge, which has a total distance of 262 miles, 330 yards, on an athletics track in ALSAA.

“The reason I have chosen an athletics track for this challenge is to symbolise the isolation, pain & never-ending feeling associated with various degrees of mental health illness,” Davy said.

“The positive angle is that if you surround yourself with the right people & develop the right mindset, then anything is possible.”

We urge all Shelbourne supporters to get behind Davy in any way you can. If anyone is in a position to offer a financial contribution, however big or small, they can do so at the link below.
