On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan was joined by Thomas O'Connor from Caherush. Thomas is getting ready to compete in the 'Badwater135 Ultramarathon' in Death Valley, California. He hopes to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Research Institute in honour of his late sister, Dorothy. Thomas presented what the marathon entails and the preparation he has endured to withstand the warm weather. He also discussed his sister's story and background. He also outlines how one of Dorothy's son will be one of his crew members and will be supporting and helping him throughout the race. You can donate and support Thomas at breastcancerresearch.enthuse.com/pf/thomasoconnor.
