At 19 years of age Sidney broke his 2 legs and was told by doctors he would never walk again. At 27 Sidney ran his first 26.2 mile marathon. And at 50, after running 40 marathons, Sidney completed his first Ironman in France last year...but NOT his last!
Sidney is currently training very hard as he has just 1 month to go before he competes in the Ironman Florida. He is very kindly doing it to raise much needed funds for RISE.
PLEASE sponsor him through his fundraising page on mycharity.ie linked below.
