Michael Connolly admits that in his late 80s he is more like the tortoise than the hare, but that won't stop him on his quest to walk 100km to raise money for cancer research. While his initial plan was to walk from there to his home in Sutton, he was advised that a roadside walk in winter for a man of his vintage might not be wise. "I'll be doing laps of St Anne's Park (Raheny) in the next 10 days to a fortnight, with some supporters to keep an eye on me, to raise money and awareness for cancer research," Michael told the Herald. I have had cancer recently, but I'm over it now. Michael has been getting into training for his walk by putting in some miles in the park in recent days.
