A GROUP of students are trekking across the length of the country in a fundraising walk in aid of cystic fibrosis sufferers, writes Una Mulhall.
They will reach Knock, Co Mayo today as they continue their 570km journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head. They set out on June 11.
UCD psychology student Barry Flinn and friend Gavin Kane who decided to "do something pro-active and give ourselves a bit of a challenge" came up with the idea to raise funds for the charity in February.
The gruelling journey has had its pit-falls. Ten people set off on the trip, but three were forced to abandon it.
The group hope to raise at least €10,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. Their progress can be followed on their internet blog, http://www.blogger.com/www.mycharity.ie/event/mizenmalinmission.
