Marathon runner Johnny Donnelly on RTE Nationwide...

On the RTE Nationwide programme that was broadcast on Wednesday the 8th of June, there was a short piece in it featuring Marathon runner Johnny Donnelly from Galway. Johnny, who is a former drummer with the band The Saw Doctors has set himself the target of running a Marathon a month for 48 months and raising money for Third World charities in the process.

On Monday the 6th of June, he completed the Cork City Marathon in a time of 3:36 for Marathon No.61.....(had to get a Cork connection in there somehow ;o)

The link for the programme is http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1100348

You'll have to watch some adverts first....then the relevant piece starts at 01:00 and lasts until 08:02. The programme is available on the RTE website until Wednesday the 29th of June.

Johnny has his own website HERE
