Photo by Harry Murphy/SportsfileLashings of rain in Dublin today did not prevent 98FM radio presenter Brian Maher donning his runners for a 24 hour ‘runathon’ to fundraise for Special Olympics Ireland. "This is my fifth challenge that I am doing, having teamed up with Special Olympics Ireland. The goal for Special Olympics Ireland is to raise as much money as we can.”It comes as for the second year running, Special Olympics Ireland’s annual collection day campaign, which culminates on May 28, will go virtual in response to Covid-19.
