Ray O'Connor begins the biggest athletic challenge of his life today when he sets off on the first leg of the "Brathay Challenge - 10 Marathons in 10 Days" (http://www.brathaychallenge.com/). Ray is the first Irishman to undertake this mindblowing task and so will be attempting to set an Irish record for the feat. We want to send all of our very best wishes to Ray for today and every day during the next ten days. When you're going about your daily routine between now and next Sunday week Ray will be hoping to clock up 260 miles of road running.

We're hoping that Ray will be able to check in with us online during the event to give us some updates on progress and if you want to leave a message for him you can append it to this article and hopefully he'll get to see it.

Good Luck from all of us Ray!
