Every Mile for Shane: Anthony Keyes’ Journey of Love, Loss and Gratitude

Anthony Keyes will run an ultra-marathon on seven consecutive days from August 10th as a thank you to Waterford Hospice. The 'angels' in Waterford Hospice cared for Anthony's brother-in-law Shane McCarthy during his time in the Oak Ward, University Hospital Waterford. Shane died on December 27th, knowing he was loved beyond belief by his wife, his children and his extended family and friends. When words just aren't enough sometimes, actions speak louder.  It was this which drove Anthony to decide he would use his legs, determination, and stamina to raise money for Waterford Hospice a a thank you for the often thankless work they do, each and every day. This follows on from his fundraising efforts last year for the Solas Cancer Support Centre. He joined Ollie and Dymphna on The Big Breakfast Blaa to outline his plans for August and details of his online donation page. Play to listen back to the interview in full.
