A week-long fundraiser to raise funds for a Wexford man with Mitochondrial Myopathy will make a stop in Nenagh next month.

The Push For Paul fundraiser is in aid of Paul Murphy, who lives with the condition, which is very similar to motor neurone disease.

The push, which consists of a teddy in a wheelchair, starts on Sunday, April 21 and finishes in Killarney Racecourse the following Saturday, April 27, 2024.

The relays are from Drogheda to Trim, Trim to Tullamore, Tullamore to Nenagh, Nenagh to Adare, Adare to Castleisland and finally from Castleisland to Killarney and will cover 350km.

The iDonate page for the fundraiser has so far raised €63,670.

The Push for Paul was organised by a group of Paul's friends including businessman Matthew Farrelly.
